A classic Dancehall riddim
It is a classic Dancehall riddim, that you’ve probably heard at least once if you collect and/or enjoy oldies. This riddim sounds pretty catchy with its upbeat 80’s old school vibe, and its mesmerizing kicking bass line. Somehow, its bass line sort of sounds similar to the 1985 Sleng Teng Riddim‘s bass line. made famous by Wayne Smith.
The compilation that you will be able to download here, features various artists such as Beenie Man, Baby Cham, Capleton, Turbulence and more (Click here to view track list).
