Bombastik Riddim – DJ Rudebway

2011 was deep in that hard-edged digital dancehall stretch, and Bombastik Riddim fits right into it with a lean, bashy pattern that leaves plenty of room for the voicing to cut through. DJ Rudebway keeps the energy clipped and streetwise rather than flashy, and the set moves between party talk, ambition tunes and rawer clash-minded cuts from Bomb Kid, Denzel, Mik’ La Seen and Top Cat. Mik’ La Seen’s “Wine” gets both edit and raw versions, which tells you the riddim was designed to work in the dance as much as on a release page. By the time it closes on the instrumental and Top Cat’s “Bombastik (Raw), ” the whole thing has settled into a brisk, no-nonsense 11-track juggle that feels built for pull-ups and quick reloads.
