The <em>Showcase EP<\/em> marks his first big artistic endeavor as a solo vocalist.

The Canadian collective has come full circle from their \u201csampledelic\u201d beginnings as the very first artist released on Bokeh Versions. Forever deconstructing and bending expectations, from their <em><a href=\"https:\/\/seekersinternational.bandcamp.com\/album\/loversdedicationstation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LoversDedicationStation<\/a> <\/em>LP to the critically acclaimed jungle masterpiece <em><a href=\"https:\/\/seekersinternational.bandcamp.com\/album\/skrsintl-presents-the-raggapreservationsociety-ep\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">RaggaPreservationSociety<\/a><\/em>, they are now considered a producer-for-hire in contemporary dancehall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first single of the project, \u201cTurnMiOn,\u201d perfectly exemplifies the tone of the record, expertly ebbing and flowing between explosive flows and pop highlands. RDL\u2019s heady chorus brings us into a dancehall party while SKRS\u2019 airy production adds a fresh and percussive feel to the song.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to disrupting the standards of dancehall and electronic music, the record also represents a new beginning: it\u2019s the first music released by the new Duppy Gun \/ Bokeh Versions \/ Roolings Muzik studio in Dam Head (near Spanish Town, Jamaica). This accomplishment shows the scale of this underground dancehall phenomenon.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Showcase EP<\/em>, out on November 27 via <a href=\"https:\/\/duppygun.bandcamp.com\/album\/showcase-ep\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Duppy Gun<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"RDL Shellah - Turn Mi On (prod.
