Here's a 2011 refit of a 1984 classic, Barrington Levy's one international superhit.
El Mayonesa has taken seductive advantage of the similar rhythm and pace of dancehall and cumbia, and has retrofitted Mr Levy's vocal with a trippy electro cumbia. It's tasty.
He's picked out all the best bits of the vocal as well, so this is a smorgasboard of gorgeousness. Talent.

La'Mier - Politsei (El Mayonesa Remix)
I am very fond of Estonia. I know exactly one Estonian, and she's amazing and makes delicious cakes, so extrapolating from that, Estonia is basically paradise.
That said, I don't normally go a bundle on Eastern European drum 'n' bass: it's too relentless and formulaeic. But this little number by La'Mier, coming straight outta Estonia, is gorgeous.
It has some really nice off-beat timpani, and a 5-note slow vocal, which make it sound a bit dancehall. In a really really good way.
