2012 Watts Riddim – Mafio House Productions

2012 Watts Riddim finds Mafio House Productions in that loose, heat-soaked corner of Francophone dancehall where the groove is more skittering than polished, and the vocalists ride it with plenty of local flavor. Elephant Man’s “Cool” gives the set an immediate jolt, but the riddim is really about the regional run of voices around him, with Taï-J, Specta and Jmax all cutting sharp turns over the same bounce. It surfaced in 2012 and was logged with 18 tracks and 19 artists, which tells you Mafio House wanted this one to move like a proper juggling rather than a one-off tune. The sequencing keeps stacking names back to back, letting the energy stay level while switching accents and styles from cut to cut.
