Sleng Teng is the name given to one of the first fully computerized riddims, influential in Jamaican music. The riddim, which was created by the collaboration between King Jammy and Wayne Smith, was titled 'Under Mi Sleng Teng' in 1984.

Wayne Smith found the computerized sound in Noel Davey's keyboard, and together he and Davey arranged the riddim, slowed it down, matched it to Smith's key, and rehearsed on it with lyrics inspired by Barrington Levy's 'Under Mi Sensi' and Yellowman's 'Under me fat ting',[1] before taking it to Jammy's studio in late 1984.[2] The riddim is based on a pattern found on the Casio MT-40 home keyboard.[1][2][3] The synthesizer pattern itself has been speculated to be an attempt to recreate Eddie Cochran's 1959 rockabilly song 'Somethin' Else; The pattern's creator, Casio's Product Development and Music Engineer Hiroko Okuda has denied the Cochran song to be the source, saying instead that it was based on a 1970s British rock song she declined to identify,[4] but has been suspected to be the David Bowie song 'Hang On to Yourself'.[5]
After the riddim was brought to the studio and Jammy heard it, he then slowed it further and placed piano and a clap on it.[2][3] Jammy recorded a number of other artists on the original backing track including Tenor Saw (with 'Pumpkin Belly'), and Johnny Osbourne (with 'Buddy Bye'). The tunes were first unleashed at a now legendary soundclash between Jammy's own sound system and Black Scorpio at Waltham Park Road on February 23, 1985.
