London rapper Tinie Tempah brought us some great music in the last decade, and in that time he has recorded for a wide range of dance producers and features on some songs for popular artists like Jess Glynne, Cheryl Cole and JLS. He’s hit the top spot a total of 7 times and some of his best material can be found here;

Frisky (with Labrinth)


Miami 2 Ibiza (with Swedish House Mafia)


Hitz (with Chase & Status)


Earthquake (with Labrinth)


Drinking From The Bottle (with Calvin Harris)


Trampoline (with Diplo)


Lover Not A Fighter (with Labrinth)


Tsunami (with DVBBS & Borgeous)


Turn The Music Louder (with KDA)


Forever (with Sigma)


Dum Dum (with Kideko)



Which of his current dance features is your favourite?

Which dance producers would you like to see him feature with in the future?

Tinie’s dance features have for the most part been very good indeed, he’s worked with some great producers, and this is how I’ve rated them all;

1. Miami 2 Ibiza (with Swedish House Mafia)
2. Drinking From The Bottle (with Calvin Harris)
3. Tsunami (with DVBBS & Borgeous)
4. Trampoline (with Diplo)
5. Earthquake (with Labrinth)
6. Turn The Music Louder (with KDA)
7. Frisky (with Labrinth)
8. Hitz (with Chase & Status)
9. Dum Dum (with Kideko)
10. Lover Not A Fighter (with Labrinth)
11. Forever (with Sigma)

Some very good dance collaborations in his portfolio, but sadly there has been a decline in quality over time. To get him back to winning ways again I want him to make a song with Meduza and another with DJ Fresh.

Tsunami!

Went for Miami 2 Ibiza because I really liked that one back at the time and it is so euphoric, Tsunami comes a close second. The end of Frisky though is amazing and Tinie is at his coolest on Hitz.

Drinking from the bottle.

Miami 2 Ibiza is my fave of that lot now, although Earthquake has the highest playcount as I was super into that back then.
Tsunami is a lot better w/o him.

Oh gosh, hard choice here between 'Frisky', 'Miami 2 Ibiza', 'Earthquake' and 'Turn The Music Louder'.

Let me get back to you after some deliberation.

Miami 2 Ibiza EASILY!

Any more votes for Tinie Tempah?

Gotta be 'Earthquake' - WHAT a banger!

It's very close between that and 'Miami 2 Ibiza' though

I'm the only one that went for Trampoline Who else loves a tuneless pounding beat???

Posted by: JackJones 3rd April 2020, 10:04 PM

Drinking From The Bottle followed by Miami 2 Ibiza. Tsunami is a better song than those two but without him, he just makes the song worse.

I saw this and wondered for a second why 2 Chainz was being considered a dance artist...

Lots of good stuff on that list, very surprised Frisky hasn't got a single vote though that were popular on here.

I voted for Trampoline which tbf I didn't even know Diplo produced.

*adds one more vote for Trampoline*
I mean, if we have to choose the most memorable one, I think it's Trampoline for me - catchy as f*** (and yeah, never heard that Diplo touched it in any possible way).
Miami 2 Ibiza, Earthquake (that one has been totally erased off my mind, thank you for reminding!), Drinking From The Bottle, Tsunami/Jump, Turn The Music Louder - these I really liked back then. Dum Dum is just meh.

Miami 2 Ibiza is a classic and, for me at least, will be one of the most memorable dance songs from the 2010s

Frisky, Earthquake, Tsunami, and Drinking From The Bottle are great singles too
