Dance Hall Style is the eighth studio album by American roots reggae songwriter and singer Horace Andy, released in 1982 by reggae and dub music record label Wackie's.
In the late 1970s, Andy and his wife relocated to Connecticut, and a few years later, he and Bullwackie met at the latter's studio, and made recordings of what would evolve into Dance Hall Style.
At the time, Bullwackie had founded a record label called Wackie's, which never achieved mainstream success in its home country (United States), but was very influential in Jamaica.
[2] Dance Hall Style's was slower, deeper, and darker, with synthesizers having a secondary influence on Andy's voice.
[2] "Lonely Woman" is an early song Andy cut for Derrick Harriott in 1972, "Cuss Cuss" is a cover of Lloyd Robinson’s 1969 local hit, and "Spying Glass" would be remixed by trip hop band Massive Attack on their second studio album.
