Borderline Riddim sits a little apart from the heavier UK-steppers version of the same name, presenting a more straight-ahead roots reggae set from Simply Muzik in 2006, with Anthony B and Ras Mc Bean, Luciano, Lutan Fyah and Chezidek among the voices cutting through it. The music has that disciplined mid-2000s foundation: a firm one-drop pulse, warm bassline, clipped drums and just enough instrumental weight to keep the singers locked in without crowding them. Anthony B and Ras Mc Bean’s “Wake Up Call” is the sharpest pairing in the bunch, while Luciano’s “Hammer” and Lutan Fyah’s “Bun Dem” keep the pressure on with stern, conscious delivery. Even when the cuts vary in tone, the riddim itself stays lean and steady, driven by a low-end throb that leaves the vocals plenty of room to work.
