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.
