PURIFY RIDDIM produced by STAR TRAIL
Purify Overview
The dub cut of the Purify Riddim from 1996 is known for its deep and conscious sound. This version stood out in reggae sets that year, giving listeners a strong sense of the roots of reggae music. The riddim was produced by STAR TRAIL, a label and production team famous for working with top reggae artists in the 1990s. STAR TRAIL was led by producer Richard "Bello" Bell, who helped shape the sound of modern roots reggae. Beres Hammond is one of the standout artists on this riddim, performing the song "Thats The Way It Is." Hammond is well known for his smooth voice and has released many hit songs over his long career. One of his most famous albums, "A Moment in Time," was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2008. Jack Radics also features on the riddim with the song "Purify." Radics is recognized for his unique singing style and his work with other reggae stars, including Shaggy on the hit "Twist and Shout," which reached the UK Top 10 in 1993. Together, these artists and STAR TRAIL created a riddim that fits perfectly into the sound of 1996 reggae. The dub cut, with its heavy bass and thoughtful mixing, remains a favorite for fans of classic reggae sets.
