BLOOD RIVER RIDDIM produced by CAT THYME 2009
Blood River Overview
In 2009, the Blood River Riddim brought strong roots reggae sounds to the scene. This release was produced by CAT THYME, who is known for working with new artists and helping to keep reggae fresh. CAT THYME has released several projects through independent reggae labels, building a reputation for quality riddims and creative production. The dub cut on this riddim stands out because it mixes classic reggae with touches of other genres. The dub engineer uses echo, reverb, and creative mixing to blend roots reggae with hints of dancehall and even some subtle electronic effects. This makes the dub version feel both traditional and modern, helping it reach a wider audience. Melakee shines on the track "Cut It Out." Melakee is recognized for his energetic style and has worked with several producers in the roots reggae community. His voice fits perfectly with the warm, rolling bassline of the riddim. On "Tribute To Giselle," Jahmel Feat Zebulun And Revelation come together to create a heartfelt song. Jahmel is known for his work with other reggae artists and has performed at respected reggae events. Zebulun and Revelation add harmonies that give the track extra depth. The dub engineer's work is key in tying the songs together. By stripping back the vocals and focusing on the rhythm, he highlights the riddim’s deep bass and drum patterns. This keeps the roots reggae spirit alive while also opening the music to new influences.
