A FI FLY OUT RIDDIM produced by TECHNIQUES RECORDS 1988
A Fi Fly Out Overview
In the studio, the musicians and engineers worked together to build a strong reggae foundation. The musical backdrop was inspired by classic roots reggae, using live instruments and deep basslines. The dub engineer played a big part in shaping the sound. He used creative mixing techniques, adding echo and reverb to give the riddim a warm, spacious feel. This helped each song stand out while keeping the whole release connected. TECHNIQUES RECORDS produced the riddim.
