Anyone that knows me will know that i have been completely taken by the UK club sounds at the moment, especially the funky bashment movement. London DJ/production duo Warrior One have been pushing the funky bashment sound recently and have a really solid debut EP that's coming out soon. The EP includes the carnival hype ' King Riddim ' feat the amazing Lady Chann , i play this tune every chance i get and it never disappoints, will be a big tune [...]

En Lower End Spasm postearon hace unos días un mix que hizo Kode9 en 2005 a base exclusivamente de instrumentales de grime de las que tenían ese feelin oriental y que él ha bautizado como sinogrime . Esto es lo que decía en una entrevista para The Guardian al respecto: "I've always been fascinated by these little squiggly synths, whether it's been in jazz funk, or gangsta rap, or 80s synth pop… and also grime. That's what I love [...]

For our Scandinavian friends, Steed Lord for their remix project album. Peep here for the riddim monster + othee remixe(r)s.

I'm gonna take it back to the old school for a hot second. In 1988 the Rumours Riddim dropped and took the dancehall scene by storm. Originally produced by Augustus "Gussie" Clarke this has become one of the most classic dancehall riddims to date with numerous re-workings of it surfacing in the last 20 years. The infectious bass line is just way too rude and is sure to make you move your feet. The biggest drop on the riddim may be up for debate but in my mind Lady G just kills everything with her cut "Nuff Respect". [...]

Here's a new one from Serani. The song is entitled "When It's Cold" and it's off the School Bell Riddim . It's a bubbly-bouncy mid-tempo track with Serani trying to win over the attention of some lady with constant praise and promises of protection. It's nothing super but it's a nice track to listen to. Serani - When it's Cold

Courtesy of RCRD LBL . You know, sometimes I feel like this whole dubstep/ragga/riddim movement that's gaining so much (kinda/sorta mainstream) steam is the most exciting shit coming out these days. At the very least, it's my personal favorite way bass is being manipulated (so wobbly one moment, so deep the next)....and we all need more low-end in our lives. Anyway, this 77Klash track falls somewhere in the aforementioned category...I won't pretend to know exactly where. But shit's rad. If you haven't joined this bandwagon yet, hop on board...there's dancing, drugs, [...]
The Baddazz Riddim is the latest dancehall creation from Christopher Birch. Some are claiming this riddim to be a re-work of the classic Joyride Riddim. Re-work or not, this is definitely a dancefloor smasher as the catchy upbeat bassline is just going to make you move, plain and simple. I put together a 10 minute riddim mix showcasing what I feel are the strongest artists on the riddim. Download the mp3 of the mix here--> BADAZZ RIDDIM MIX [2009] Tracklist after the jump 1 - [...]

A few DJs hopped on this riddim to give it their own flavor. Who took hold of it? Beenie Man - " Look So Hot " | Tifa & Natalie Storm - " Talk Of The Town " | Timberlee - " Backdoor Delivery " | Vybz Kartel - " Hop Off " | Wayne Wonder - " It's Life "

One of my favorite reggae cuts of all time comes from a group called The Abyssinians. Now if you're a reggae head - this is pretty standard stuff, and easily one of the must have 73 staples in the collectsh of any self-respecting roots reggae head. The song is called: Santa Massagana and the year is 1976. [See post to listen to audio] DOWNLOAD: The Abyssinians - Santa Massaganna Three vocalists, singing in harmony. Heavy into the Rastafarian movement, the Abyssinians deliver [...]
If you're lucky enough to have some sort of Reggae radio station or show in your area (WERS Reggae Riddims - beantown massive), you've probably been hearing this monster for a minute. The song is epic and now we have a video to match. King Jammy's son produced the Mission riddim that laces this track of the same name. Enjoy!
