What is a RIDDIM?
Riddim in Jamaican Music
In reggae and dancehall, a riddim is the instrumental rhythm track—usually drums and bass—that many artists use to create different songs. A single riddim can be reused, remixed, and reinterpreted for decades.
Riddim in Dubstep
In electronic music, riddim dubstep is a subgenre of dubstep defined by heavy sub-bass, repetitive layers, and syncopated rhythms. Here, the term “riddim” refers to rhythmic style, not a backing track.
