Jamaican reggae and dancehall producer Bobby Digital died from kidney disease on 21 May aged 59. Born Robert Dixon in Kingston, he began working with King Jammy in the mid-1980s. Indeed, he spent time as the in-house engineer for Jammy and is credited with helping record Wayne Smith’s “Under Mi Sleng Teng”. In the late 80s he opened the Heatwave studio and sound system and founded his Digital B label. He went on to work with Shabba Ranks – notably on the latter’s “Dem Bow”, a track that helped popularise reggaeton – Sizzla Kalonji, Super Cat and Admiral Bailey.
