We take a short detour at Mixtape Mondays today to bring you a world premiere from three heavy-hitting selectors in the game, each holding it down for the ladies and dancehall in a big way. London, Toronto and Jamaica are the focus here, as well as a final salute to summer. Too blessed to be stressed pon a Monday…

Welcome back to reality! Hopefully you had a warm and blessed holiday with your family or loved ones. As 2011 comes to a close, Mixtape Mondays is bubbling into the New Year with some quality dancehall roundups and more tropical heat from Miami, Sweden, London and The Bay. For those who have the day off, feel free to whine up to these mixes in your house robe and slippers—and if you gotta work today well, hopefully, these will help your day suck much less. Hit those play and download buttons after the jump and leggo.

Shimmy Shimmy blogger, No Ice Cream Sound editor and Selectress extraordinaire (not to mention LargeUp homegirl) Suze Webb was featured in Time Out London this week, along with her friends and collaborators Siobhan Jones and Karen Cazabon. Known professionally as The Large, Why Delila and Kazabon, respectively, the three female selectors have joined forces into an all-girl army of king fu killers known simply as Style & Swagger. As such they are clearly a force to be reckoned with in the London underground, putting their own distinctive spin on dancehall, soca–and tropical music generally–at club nights like Physically Fit and Hipsters Don’t Dance. Come to find out the three were linked by LargeUp UK correspondent Gabriel Heatwave, a tastemaker (and apparently, Queen-maker) in the UK bashment sphere. We put a few of our favorite quotes after the jump, but read the full article at TOL–and look for more big things from this trio in the near future.
