Ghetto Palms: Garrisontech / Aidonia / Mavado / Tarrus Riley / Remixes / Target Riddim / Terry Lynn
- story Eddie "Stats" Houghton
Every week resident FADER selector Eddie STATS runs through dancehall riddims and other artifacts from the ghetto archipelago.
Sometimes things just come in waves. I didn’t have to reach too hard for a theme (or micro-genre) for today’s Ghetto Palms because for some reason my inbox this week was full of non-dancehall remixes of Jamaican artists that—even though they came from different countries and different mindsets—all had a similar vibe. The vibe is electronic, skittery and minor-keyed, sometimes leaning towards house and electro, sometimes on a more UK grime thing, but meeting up in that fast half-time, slow double time tempo that has been floating in and out of music since the invention of drum n bass. For lack of a better term I am labeling it Garrisontech.
