The Sleng Teng riddim is one of my favorite reggae riddims. Americans might best know it as the bassline from Sublime's Caress Me Down (https://www.youtube.com

  Also reminds me of the intro to Creature Comfort by Arcade Fire.

  I've been involved with the German Dancehall scene from around the late 90s early 2000s and danced so many nights to this riddim. I knew the story and how this riddim ended up in Jamaica at King Jammy's (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mop89McbxAE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mop89McbxAE ), but could not remember to have seen an image of the actual keyboard before. Here is a video where Wayne Smith tells how he found the preset on the keyboard https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yM2qMdop890 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yM2qMdop890

  I used to keep a little list of riddims, here's more from sleng teng: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61kVhWClUZo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61kVhWClUZo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOMZlVLh1Ts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOMZlVLh1Ts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9mrs1Ge8fo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9mrs1Ge8fo then there's stalag riddim: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4fjGwVpbm0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4fjGwVpbm0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbQX0QmngYg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbQX0QmngYg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3d4Efp5TMc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3d4Efp5TMc and my favourite heavenless riddim: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBRzaoUe3y8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBRzaoUe3y8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQXPTRIsEII https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQXPTRIsEII https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJGa2-qBsSI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJGa2-qBsSI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MmIP16H5jE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MmIP16H5jE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0BxPQIypnQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0BxPQIypnQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=himuq_-TM-A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=himuq_-TM-A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rpgl8oK869E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rpgl8oK869E then there's answer riddim: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4bN_lmTGRk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4bN_lmTGRk Overall these riddims are played at so called soundsystem parties - basically huge amount of subwoofers that your body shakes. Earplugs is a must else you'll get tinitus like I did. Stranger part is no photos are allowed and a lot of music isn't released online - it's overall kinda secretive subculture. It blew my mind when I came to such party first time.

    I know this comes at odds with "no photos allowed" but is there some good footage on youtube? Sounds like something I'd enjoy watching, just like 80s warehouse parties with early acid house.
