BRIDGES RIDDIM produced by TWO FRIENDS RECORDS 1990
Bridges Overview
If you love reggae from the early 1990s, the Bridges Riddim from TWO FRIENDS RECORDS is a real treat. This riddim is a strong example of roots reggae, using a classic structure that keeps true to the original Jamaican sound. The instrumental is smooth and steady, with deep bass and gentle drums that make you want to move. It feels relaxed but never boring, just the way roots reggae should. Compared to other reggae sets from 1990, the Bridges Riddim stands out for its warm, rootsy feel. Many riddims from that time started to mix in more digital or dancehall elements. But here, the sound stays true to classic reggae, with live instruments and a flowing rhythm. This gives the riddim a timeless quality that fans still enjoy today. The set features strong performances from artists like Home t cocoa tea shabba ranks with "every time you go." Cocoa Tea, of course, is well known for his song "Down in Babylon" and is a respected figure in reggae. Lady g brings her hit "shy shy man" to the mix—she is famous for her big song "Nuff Respect," which made her a leading female voice in dancehall. Red rose appears with "curfew," and Debbie dukes delivers "dont you burn." Lady english and miss linda join forces on "guys you cant," adding more energy to the riddim. TWO FRIENDS RECORDS, the producer behind this set, is known for helping many artists rise in the reggae world.
