Recorded and mixed at Prince Jammy’s Studio. Producer: Prince Jammy - "The 'Sleng Teng' riddim was created on a Casio MT-40 and is inspired amongst others by the riff from Eddie Cochran's 'Somethin' Else'" "Built on a pre-set drum track and bassline that Wayne Smith and a friend had discovered on a Casio keyboard in 1985, the "Sleng Teng" rhythm ushered in the "digital" age of dancehall reggae, made producer Prince Jammy's fortune, and changed one face of reggae music forever - the rhythm was popular enough to spawn literally hundreds of versions and imitations, and it continues to be used as a standard backing track for reggae deejays more than twenty years after its original release."
