60 Hertz Riddim – Safari Records

Low-end pressure and a dry, forward-driving swing carry 60 Hertz Riddim, and Safari Records leans into a lean four-track dancehall set that leaves plenty of room for the bass to do the talking. The 2019 release keeps the lineup tight with Gappy Ranks, Red Fox, Marcy Chin, and Badda General, and the whole thing plays like a focused modern juggling rather than a crowded compilation. Binnie Smalls is the producer behind the project, and the Swedish connection gives it a slightly different edge even as the riddim stays rooted in hardcore dancehall motion. Gappy Ranks’ “Tell Unno” and Red Fox’s “Shell out Everything” set the tone early, but Badda General’s “Sicka Dan Di Average” lands the sharpest final hit and leaves the heaviest imprint.
