Bogle Riddim – Madhouse Records

BOGLE RIDDIM produced by MADHOUSE RECORDS 1991/2

Bogle Overview

The Bogle Riddim yard session tape from 1991 is a true slice of dancehall history. The rhythm is lively and full of energy, blending raw deejay verses with smooth, melodic vocals. The bassline is deep and steady, perfect for moving a crowd, while the drums keep everything tight and focused. This is the kind of sound that fills a yard party with excitement, making everyone want to dance. Several standout artists brought their unique styles to this tape. Capleton delivers powerful tracks like "Good Loving," "Stampede," and "Everybody," showing why he became a major voice in dancehall. His energetic delivery is hard to ignore. Terror Fabulous shines with "Mr Big Man" and also teams up with Maxi Priest for the smooth "Dreaming." Maxi Priest, known for his 1990 hit "Close to You," brings a softer, crossover touch to the session. Daddy Screw contributes with "Turn On Di Heart," "Turn On Di Heat," and "Loverman," adding a playful vibe. Buju Banton, who later earned a Grammy for his album "Before the Dawn," drops the classic "Bogle," capturing the dancehall spirit perfectly. Behind it all is MADHOUSE RECORDS, the label that produced this riddim. Founded by Dave Kelly, MADHOUSE became famous for shaping the sound of 1990s dancehall and launching hits like Beenie Man’s "Dude." Their work on the Bogle Riddim helped set the tone for the decade.
