There aren’t many music-makers who can lay claim to having established an entire new genre. Think of New Jack Swing, however, and only one name comes to mind – the legend that is Teddy Riley.
This mix blazes through all of the man’s very biggest productions and remixes, from his executive role on Doug E Fresh’s ‘The Show’ when he was only 18, spanning the Swingbeat glory days of ’88 to ’92, and through the three supergroups, Guy, Wreckx N Effect and Blackstreet, with a few miscellaneous moments along the way.
It struck me while putting this together that at least 80 per cent of all the records Teddy has worked on have been blatantly about sex. The dirty dog.
For the trainspotters, the full track listing is below. For the full ‘What? I never knew he produced THAT?!’ experience, meanwhile, just let the mix run.
