Armzhouse Records Presents The Hits (vol 1) Overview
In 2016, dancehall was bursting with new sounds, and selectors played a big role in shaping the energy of the scene. The selector’s choice of this mix fit perfectly into the year’s vibe, with heavy basslines and a fresh, modern feel that drew crowds to the dancefloor. The riddim’s infectious groove made it a favorite for parties and street dances, helping to define the sound of that time. Behind the scenes, the bashment arranger crafted a sound that was both catchy and powerful. Their influence was clear in the way the tracks fit together, each song building on the last to keep the momentum high. Armzhouse Records, known for their sharp production, released this project, adding another strong release to their catalog. The artists on this mix each brought their own style. Alkaline’s “10 Years” and “Little Harder” showed his sharp delivery and lyrical confidence. By 2016, Alkaline was already making waves with hits like “Champion Boy,” and his presence on this riddim added star power. I Octane delivered three tracks: “Red Eye,” “Buss A Blank,” and “Dem A Freak.” Known for his hit “Lose A Friend,” I Octane’s vocals brought emotion and energy, keeping fans locked in. Konshens added “Care Zero” to the mix. With his international hit “Gal a Bubble,” Konshens was a fixture in dancehall, and his contribution here kept the party moving.
