Anti Virus Riddim (2011) – Weedseed Productions

Weedseed Productions had a sharp, slightly paranoid little dancehall set on its hands with Anti Virus Riddim, a 2011 project that keeps the energy lean and street-level rather than flashy. The selector’s ear is on clipped digital drums, tense loops and a rigid bounce that suits Deva Bratt’s Work Hard and Kiprich’s Can’t Believe, while Beenie Man’s Love and Peace with Omari gives the package a smoother, more melodic turn without softening the edge. Patexxx, Megah B, Fire Star and Alozade keep the pressure on across the other cuts, and the final Weedseed Productions instrumental closes things out like a stripped-back tag, letting the riddim’s cold, wiry groove do the talking.
