Body Groovin Riddim – Stainless Music

Busy Signal’s “Winner” is the first name that jumps off Body Groovin Riddim, and it sets the tone for Stainless Music’s 2015 cut with that locked-in, radio-ready Dancehall energy. Lutan Fyah’s “Higher the Monkey Climb” and Bugle’s “No Bad News” give the riddim its sharper conscience side, while Bling Dawg and Chan Dizzy keep things moving with more street-level swagger and a little playfulness. The mix of voices runs deeper than the usual one-drop parade too, with DJ Karim opening the set, Supa Hype linking up with Mr Lexx and DonHusky, and tracks like Road Elf’s “Push It” and Tarnado’s “Still Live On” filling out a 12-track run. Stainless had already been working this vein in 2015, and Body Groovin sits neatly in that era of compact, vocalist-heavy jugglers built for selector play and quick movement.
