Wrongtom & Deemas J - Riot Ting

Wrongtom is perhaps best known for his excellent collaboration album, 'Duppy Writer', with Roots Manuva. However, the London based DJ/Producer has garnered quite the reputation for making quality Reggae, Dancehall and Dub influenced productions, in his own right (not to mention the Indie stuff he did with Hard Fi).
Now Wrongtom has teamed with an old friend and seasoned Dub-MC Deema J, to create 'In East London', out now on the TruThoughts label, it's an album so full of grubby Dub goodness that they've even managed to sneak a Monkees cover in there. To celebrate the album's successful release, Wrongtom is giving away, 'Riot Ting',  the album's third track and a dutty, vibey number. Check the track preview below and grab the FREE download here. Afterall, it's always a good day for Dubs.

Chances are you've heard about the release of Major Lazer's latest offering 'Get Free', especially since #GETFREE has been all over for Twitter for days. Well i've finally got around to posting about this interesting track that looks to be giving us clues as to the new future direction of Major Lazer.
In 'Get Free', gone are the heavy dancehall vibes and bassy synths in favour of something far more chilled....with the vocal leads of Amber Coffman taking the forefront alongside clear dub/reggae influences likely stemming from the track's Jamaican recording location.
