Mad Collab

Bounty Killer in combination with Elephant man, Bounty with Agent Sasco and Bugle, Ricky Blaze ft. Chino & Di Genius and so on ... . This riddim is mad!

Bad People
| (Big Ship productions)Even though this riddim was released in february this one is definitely one of THE riddims of 2010. Stephen 'Di Genius' McGregor delivers another masterpiece of contemporary production work. Stereo snares, heavy sub basses and state-of-the-art synths in a double-time/half-time arrangement set the foundation for artists like Mavado, Busy, the long time not heard Cham and many many more.
Roof Top
| (Rosegold Records)This driving dancehall riddim is rotating in the clubs right now. Besides the title tune by Mavado that clearly leads the selection there are decent tunes by Beenie Man, Charly Blackz, D'Angle and others.
12 Furlong
| (Ballaz Production)This tough stomping dancehall riddim features only four artists which absolutely seems to be enough for a riddim. Dancehall veteran Jr. Reid contributes one of his nowadays very rare voicings.

The production distinguishes itself by clean drum sounds fine synths and the typical sound of a current jamaican dancehall production.
