‚Tell Dem Again‘ is a tune we really wanted to put out on 7“ as this is the perfect example of how we work. The riddim was initially one of our free riddims, which we put out on soundcloud. After a few weeks, our Hawaiian friend Koa Aloy recorded the tune over it and sent it back to us and we instantly fell in love with it. It’s the very first release on wax for the singer and it’s also the first official release to arise from our free riddims. These free riddims prove to be a vital part of our strategy to aquire new talented singers like Koa Aloy.

With the tune called ‚Hardworker‘, the French singer describes the life of a reggae artist not being able to live from his musical works and explains us, why he still has a job. He describes a couple of encounters with his boss, some experiences everyone can relate to. Lyrics with meaning and a personal touch, on a sweet digi riddim that make us feel like back in the golden years of digital reggae.

TOP SMILE RECORDS 2 x 7 inch issue:

After releasing 8 different 7 inch vinyls in 2014/15 – the Swiss digital dons are back with two brandnew 45´s, styled with a different colored label artwork and packed in some kick-ass vintage looking sleeves. The crew collaborated with Jamaican lengend Derrick Parker, Little Jordee from Digikal Youths outta Hawaii and French deejay sensation S’Kaya to complete this heavyweight production in a truly international stylee. Each singer emphasises a different element of Reggae music and brings a completely unique vibe to the riddim.

———————————————————————————————————————————————————

With a name like High Smile HiFi, it could only be a matter of time until the crew would come up with a Ganja tune. ‚Highest Grade‘ featuring Derrick Parker hits the nail on the head. His unique voice adds a sweet flavour to the already tough riddim. Derrick has been in the music business for slightly more than two decades, known from over 80 (!!) vinyl releases so far. He brought us hits like ‹Samfie Love›, ‹Cool it off› and many more. ‚Highest Grade‘ marks his first release on Top Smile Records, more to come for sure. ‚Lyrics Designer‘ on the flipside reminds us of the good old rub-a-dub 80´s as Little Jordee rides the riddim inna pure deejay-style. He is a member of the Hawaiian crew called ‹Digikal Youths›, where he normally partners Tuli Ranks on the microphone. The vocals have been mixed by Sean Kim at Jahtomics studio in Maui, another member of Digikal Youths. Watch out for these young cats as they both have a superb style and will surely attract listeners from all over the world.
