TIELO LANEZ SHOOTAH DEM (ACOUSTIC REMIX)

During the recording sessions for the upcoming Skyscraper Stereo EP Not From Therein Kingston, Jamaica, we connected with Dancehall artist Tielo Lanez, one of the island’s most exciting emerging voices.

Inspired by the idea that a great song can stand on its own with nothing more than a voice and a guitar, we decided to reimagine his track Shootah Demin its most stripped-back form.

Together with Kingston guitarist GSharp and producer 255, we recorded an intimate acoustic version that reveals a different side of Tielo’s songwriting – raw, honest and emotional.

Tielo Lanez & Skyscraper Stereo – Shootah Dem (Acoustic Remix)is out now.

JQUAN - LOVE X2 (Acoustic Remix)

During the recording sessions for the upcoming Skyscraper Stereo EP Not From Therein Kingston, Jamaica, we crossed paths with Dancehall artists Tielo Lanez and Jquan — two voices currently making serious waves in Jamaica’s clubs and on its streets.

As we spent time talking about music, songwriting and creative influences, it became clear just how underrated the craft of Jamaican Dancehall songwriting still is outside of Jamaica.

Legendary songwriter Harlan Howard once described a great song as:

"Three chords and the truth."

Inspired by that idea, we decided to strip everything back to its essence:
just voice and guitar.

One phone call to Kingston guitarist GSharp later, and less than 24 hours afterwards, the concept became reality.

Together with 255 behind the camera and engineering desk, we captured two intimate live performances that reveal Dancehall from a completely different perspective — raw, emotional and honest.

The result:

Jquan – “Love X2 (Acoustic Version)” (out: 5th of june 2026)
and
Tielo Lanez – “Shootah Dem (Acoustic Version)” (out: 12th of june 2026)

Two teaser singles that offer a unique glimpse into Jamaica’s songwriting culture while serving as the perfect warm-up for the forthcoming Skyscraper Stereo EP, Not From There!
