    The world of music was forever changed after the release of Wayne Smith's titanic track "Under Me Sleng Teng". Built utilising the 'Rock' pre-set that he and a friend had discovered on a Casio MT40 keyboard in 1985 the "Sleng Teng" riddim ushered in the digital age of Dancehall Reggae and mad producer Prince Jammy's career, consequently Jammy was crowned the King not long after.

    The riddim was popular enough to spawn literally hundreds of versions and imitations, and it continues to be used as a standard backing track for Reggae and Dancehall deejays forty years after its original release.
