2nd Touch Riddim – Mill Vibes Productions

Mill Vibes Productions kept this one tight in 2015, and 2nd Touch Riddim sits nicely in that smaller, more focused corner of dancehall where three vocal cuts and an instrumental let the rhythm do the talking. Jami Dread’s “Skin 2 Skin” leads the pack with Redd Man Uk’s “In My Heart” and Brucho’s “So Hard To Get” filling out the vocal side, all riding a brisk, spare riddim with that clipped digital pulse and enough low-end weight to keep the groove moving without crowding the singers. There’s no extra clutter here, just the producer’s instrumental and the three songs laid over it, which gives the release an almost showcase-style feel and makes the arrangement easy to hear in full. The tracklist runs four cuts deep: Jami Dread, Redd Man Uk, Brucho, and the Mill Vibes Productions instrumental.
