Use Clean Jamaican Dancehall Party Playlist at Youth Events
Disc Jockeys Urged To Use Clean Jamaican Dancehall Party Playlist at Youth Events
June 4, 2017
YA Readers Hangout is pleased to publish a compilation of international Dancehall chart and crossover hits that we believe will showcase the very highest standards of the genre that can meet the demands of the persons with responsibility for events for children between the ages of 12 and 17. Anecdotally, we believe that too many youth events and households are unofficially excluding Jamaican Dancehall artistes from the official entertainment space, and this list is one way to bring it into the centre.
We have published the list at this time as the Summer party season is unfolding, and we hope it can assist Disc Jockeys who will be paid to play for young people to get a dance mix that parents and community leaders can be comfortable with. DJs will be paid to play for graduations, fairs, community events and back to school events and need to cater to a child audience and not play material that was intended for adult parties.
Our track list has 21 original riddims and international collaborations covering more than two hours of music. The list is not intended to be used by itself, but will ensure that a high quality Jamaican Dancehall sound can reach even the most discerning parties. This compilation can go head to head with leading pop artistes and keep a dance floor moving without the risk of lyrical content shifting out the Jamaican product, which is already being replaced by Dancehall produced by overseas artistes.
Ours does not claim to be a definitive or exhaustive list, and will not meet the expectations of a wide cross section of persons, but we are very proud to highlight the creativity of 21 major Jamaican artistes across the thirty one tracks that were selected.
The most popular riddim on our list is the Diwali Riddim and Beenie Pan, Papcaan, Elephant Man, Sean Paul and Chi Ching Ching are featured on more than one track each. Most tracks were released within the last seven years, but Shabba, Diana King, Buju Banton and Nadine Sutherland are on the list.
YA Readers Hangout is a creative outlet of the writer Gwyneth Harold Davidson. The YA Hangout has been staged at two national festivals. Its literary products are geared for audiences between age 12 and age 25.
