The Heatwave is back at it a with a big mix commemorating 25 years of digital dancehall. This is a must listen history lesson.

Last month marked the 25th anniversary of the day that Wayne Smith’s Under Me Sleng Teng was first played in a dance. Tuesday 23rd February to be exact.

To celebrate the 25th birthday of digital dancehall we looked back over the last quarter century of this brilliant music and had a quick party on our Rinse FM show. It was mad to look at how things have developed over two and a half decades.
