Automatic Riddim – Penthouse Showcase Vol.3

AUTOMATIC RIDDIM produced by PENTHOUSE SHOWCASE VOL.3 2009

Automatic Overview

The rocksteady flow has deep roots in Jamaican music. This style, which started in the late 1960s, gave reggae its steady, soulful rhythm. In 2009, this classic flow was brought back to life with the Automatic Riddim, released by PENTHOUSE SHOWCASE VOL. 3. The riddim’s smooth yet powerful beat gave both singers and deejays a strong foundation to share their stories. Several talented artists recorded songs on this riddim. Bunny Rugs delivered a heartfelt performance with "It's You," while Marcia Griffiths offered her sweet voice on "Love Is Automatic." Da'ville added a romantic touch with "Tonight Is Yours." Peetah Morgan’s "Bye Bye" and Torch’s "Treat Her Like A Lady" both brought their own unique flavors. Red Foxx kept the vibe lively with "My Baby," and Richie Spice inspired listeners with "Jah Never Let Us Down." Spanner Banner’s "Rolling Stone," Snatcha’s "Love Boat," and Conkarah’s "Rude Bwoy Love" each added something special, showing the riddim’s versatility. The roots selector plays an important role in reggae, choosing tunes that keep the culture alive. Selectors often turn to riddims like this one for their timeless sound and energy. PENTHOUSE SHOWCASE VOL. 3 is known for releasing high-quality reggae compilations. The label has a strong history in the industry, often working with top artists and producers. Their work on Automatic Riddim helped introduce a new generation to the classic rocksteady sound. This rocksteady flow remains a key part of reggae’s history, connecting the past with the present and keeping the music’s roots strong.
