Dancehall Artiste Mavado's hard work paying off abroad

Since trumpeting Mavado's arrival on the Dancehall scene in 2005, with Real McKoy on their 'Anger Management riddim', boutique record label DASECA Productions has consistently found hit records with the 'Gully Gad'. Don't Wana Be a Memory on their 'Category 5' riddim continues to rise and their last single with Mavado, When You Feel Lonely, went to number 1 on BBC 1Xtra in the UK and many other charts around the world, as well as selling successfully.


Mavado appeared on New York's number 1 radio station HOT 97 Sunday night for his first interview on his return to the US after a 15-month absence where Bobby Konders and Jabba gave the latest DASECA-produced offering - Gyal Wine, its world premiere.

When Konders and Jabba played the song, it was an instant hit, and a radio rip of the track went viral almost immediately heightening anticipation for the track's release. The song has been released to select radio jocks and sound system selectors around the world as well as being available on iTunes and all digital outlets as of today.

"Making music with DASECA is a straight family ting," said Mavado in a release. "The musical chemistry is natural and the world seems to agree, as we have made many big songs over the last six years. Whenever I'm in the studio, I always try to sound different, I don't want any of my songs to sound the same and DASECA knows how to help bring that out. I know the ladies are going to love this one."
 

DASECA is working on new material with new protege Dexta Daps and will be releasing a new single from him in the very near future. Mavado is currently in the US negotiating with record labels and preparing for his upcoming US tour.
