Boomblast Overview
In 2001, the Boomblast Riddim arrived in dancehall with a sound that quickly caught the attention of selectors and fans. The journey began in the studio, where the hands behind the boards shaped the rhythm’s pounding energy. The producer, FOOTSTEPS RECORDS, was already known in the dancehall world for bringing fresh sounds to the scene. With a history of working with top artists, the label had earned respect for its quality productions and its ear for new talent. The Bashment rhythm was crafted to move crowds, and the selector’s mix captured that spirit. Capleton set the tone with two standout tracks: "Call Me On The Phone" and "Bun Out Di Chi Chi." Capleton, famous for his fiery delivery and known for hits like "Jah Jah City," brought his trademark intensity to both songs. Mr.Lex followed with "Big Up Mi Friend Dem," adding his playful style. Mr.Lex, who had chart success with "Full Hundred," gave the riddim another layer of energy. Delly’s "Top A De Top" kept the momentum strong, while TOK delivered "Die For My Crew." TOK, the group behind the international hit "Footprints," added harmonies that stood out on the mix. Elephant Man, known for his energetic stage shows and songs like "Pon De River, Pon De Bank," brought his hype to "Get Machine Now." Each artist gave the riddim their own twist, making the selector’s mix a favorite for bashment parties.
