Where to start?
Lovely darker shade of black version:
Run down the world:
Contender for the first digi tune:
Kind of obvious, but one of my fave digi riddims. The dub is sublime:
Cant find a video for the "head to toe' riddim, but thats another good one. Low quality Mp3 here:

Another obvious one, but one of the first and still my favourite digi reggae tune ever.

Most of the other basic replay is fantastic as well, but none of its on Youtube. In fact Youtube is pretty crap for even vaguely obscure dancehall and reggae.

I was recording some stuff tonight so I threw a few digi things in as well seeing as youtube is so shit.
The 'Head to toe' version as mentioned earlier. This ones a stormer, and is an original Jammys riddim as far as I know:
http://www.weareie.com/audio/digi/headtotoe.mp3
Overtly digi clap happy version of 'Throw me corn' from Sly and Robbie, 1985 style:
http://www.weareie.com/audio/digi/throwmecorn.mp3
That 'What the hell' version I was talking about. Would love to know the background behind this riddim. Its got a big change in the bassline which tends to be an artifact from older versions. Check out that weird 12 bar squelchy intro:
http://www.weareie.com/audio/digi/whatthehell.mp3
Not really digi but another of my favourite versions. I call it 'laugh and grin' after the ninja tune on the flip. Im sure it has a real name, but I havent been able to track down any other tunes on the same riddim. Jammys of course:

Havent got that one. Was it on penthouse?
Ive ever seen a non-Jammys version of the riddim. There is a different cut of it thats nowhere near as good, and there we some new pieces put out on it a few years back...
