ACETATE RIDDIM produced by M RECORDS 2006
Acetate Overview
In 2006, the Acetate Riddim brought a fresh but classic roots reggae sound to the scene. The rhythm is steady and earthy, with a deep bassline and lively drums. It has that old-school roots feel, the kind that makes you want to sway and nod your head. The riddim keeps things simple but powerful, echoing the golden days of reggae music. Several respected artists came together on this project. Cornell Campbell, known for his smooth voice and big hits like “Queen of the Minstrels,” delivers “Why Dem Gwaan So.” His song rides the riddim with ease, showing why he has been a roots favorite for decades. Jah Stitch, a legendary deejay from the 1970s, brings his classic style to “Universal Ruler,” adding a strong, spoken word flavor that fits perfectly. Nambo and Ian Hird, both talented horn players, team up for “Universal Horns,” filling the track with rich brass sounds. Twiligh Crew close the set with “Acetate Version,” a dub cut that strips the riddim back and lets the echo and reverb take over. Selectors, or DJs, play a big role in reggae. They pick the right riddims to move the crowd, and Acetate Riddim became a favorite for its rootsy vibe and energy. The producer, M RECORDS, is known for supporting roots reggae and working with respected artists. Over the years, the label has earned respect for keeping the classic reggae sound alive. This dub release really captured the spirit of roots reggae in 2006, bringing together tradition and fresh energy.
