Beach Resort Riddim – Pl Music

PL Music’s Beach Resort Riddim arrives with a bright, sun-soaked dancehall swing, but there’s enough bite in the drum pattern and bassline to keep it from drifting into background music. Busy Signal’s “Know Mi Good” sets the tone early, while Beenie Man gets two swings at “Good” in radio and raw form, a small but telling nod to the old radio-versus-rude cut tradition. Gyptian’s “Bounce” adds a smoother melodic touch, and Bugle’s “Laba Laba” works especially well in both edits, sitting alongside Wayne Marshal, Jovi Di Pree, Don 1 and Krush. The instrumental closes the set, and the whole release feels very much of that 2018 era when dancehall productions were leaning toward clean, catchy hooks with a breezy, summer-ready gloss.
