Words by Jesse Serwer—

Drop your digital needle on Wrongtom and Deemas J.‘s “Jump + Move + Rock” next time someone comes in the room, and try and guess what year you’re tuning into. We’ll wait….’85, you say? ’86? Well, you’re half right. Rarely, if ever, have revivalists conjured the feel of an earlier era of dancehall as well as Wrongtom and Deemas J. do the mid ’80s digital era on their new single, “Jump + Move + Rock,” a riddim with classic Sleng Teng vibes and chatting that sounds like it could have come straight off an ’80s sound tape from top ranking U.K. sound Saxon Studio.
