American artiste, producer, and DJ Freddy Browne has collaborated with Jamaican sensation Richie Stephens, as well as emerging recording artiste AcYn, for a fusion track titled Blood Upon The Dance Floor.

It was released under the JHouse Entertainment record label — a subsidiary of SOON Recordings — both owned by Browne.

It was distributed by The Orchard, which is the digital distribution arm of Sony Music with whom the producer has been for the last 20 years.

He anticipates that this release will also reap success, as it precedes an album with multiple popular Jamaican acts.

“All of my records make noise in different places; some more than others. This is the fourth single in the JHouse project with the first three being Beenie Man, Ding Dong, and Busy Signal. Then, of course, the album will be coming out shortly, which will include these tracks along with others by Patra, Tessanne [Chin], J’Calm, Agent Sasco… I always know what I’m gonna do, and then I just do it and enjoy the ride. It’s a gift to have my music embraced globally. There’s no limit to what we cable achieve,” he told the Jamaica Observer’s Splash.

Where credits are concerned, Browne wrote and composed the music for Blood Upon The Dance Floor, as well as produced, mixed, and arranged it. Stephens, on the other hand, sang the hook and bridge vocals and AcYn sang verse vocals.

He also explained that he was instrumental in not only putting the song together, but the artwork.

“I made the decision to have AcYn on this track; to have him on the verses.… and then the artwork on the single, there’s an inspiration behind that. It’s taken from the movie Saturday Night Fever with John Travolta, where he dances at this club in Brooklyn. And when I saw those coloured elements it reminded me of APC40 MIDI Controller. So I had my art director [Jordii] swap out the floor from the movie and use my MIDI Controller. It started with men’s feet and then I told him to put women’s feet in with Jimmy Choo shoes and blood coming off the fonts, and that’s how the artwork came together,” he said.

Meanwhile, Stephens said that he enjoyed working on the track, particularly this fast-rising sound.

“Everybody knows Richie Stephens as the reggae and lovers’ rock man, and I’m really officially a reggae artiste. But I’m also known to be someone who enjoys doing different genres of music. So I loved the idea of the Jamaica House [genre] that Freddy Browne came up with, which is to put Jamaican artistes on the genre of house music,” he told Splash.

For his part, AcYn added that JHouse will parachute many Jamaican artistes to the global market. He, too, had a seamless experience collaborating with the veteran talents.

“It’s been an amazing experience collaborating with both Freddy Browne and Richie Stephens. Both of them have achieved tremendous things in their careers. They have become masters of their craft and have never hesitated to share their knowledge. Both are true legends in their own right. [It was] not my first collab, but certainly the first of this calibre,” he said.
