Afternoon Riddim – Lampshade Music

Delhija’s “In You I Find It” gives Afternoon Riddim its softest hook, but the whole set hangs together as a compact six-cut reggae package from Lampshade Music, with Humble Lion’s “Don’t Take Our Love Away” and Nado’s “Drama” adding a bit more bite to the mood. The riddim clocks in as a short, tidy session rather than a sprawling showcase, and that economy suits Lampshade’s 2014 run of melodic, mid-tempo work: this one feels like the warmer, more laid-back cousin to their Morning Riddim, with less push and more easy sway. Tixxy Bang’s “Jamaica” and I Dalla’s “Mystic Voice” keep the energy steady without crowding the arrangement, so the whole release sits neatly in the label’s catalogue as one of those unflashy rootsy one-riddim sets that knows exactly how much to say and when to stop.
