Affair Riddim – Fat Bird Recordings

Fat Bird Recordings keeps Affair Riddim lean and focused, pairing just four cuts from Lukie D, Troy Anthony, Denis Mclean and Lytie Powell on a reggae set that runs under the same title throughout, with Dub Troubles handling the production and a dub version sitting alongside the vocal track listing on the release. Lukie D’s “Anyway” feels like the anchor here, while Troy Anthony’s “Gratified” and Denis Mclean’s “Change” give the riddim its other strong pulls. The cuts are short and direct, which suits the dub-reggae framing and leaves the groove to do the talking. Affair Riddim was issued in 2018, catalogued by Fat Bird Recordings as FBR D019.
