Riddim World: Roots Reggae, Dancehall & Soca Music

Riddimz Kalacta is the founder and chief editor of Riddims World, which he started in 2008. A molecular cell biologist by training who swapped the lab for the studio, he's spent years cataloguing reggae, dancehall, and soca — beginning with his own collection of vinyl, CDs, and cassettes, and building it into one of the most complete riddim archives online. He produces, selects, and writes most of what you read here.
