Bull Ghost Riddim – The Paradox Musicians

Bull Ghost Riddim has that warm, rootsy Japanese-reggae feel Junior Wize Production has been nurturing for years, with The Paradox Musicians driving the live band edge underneath a small but nicely varied set of voices. Raggabund’s “Lloro Cancion” brings a melodic, slightly sentimental lift, while Smiley Song’s “Bull’s Pipe” has a looser, more playful sway that sits nicely against the heavier pocket. Jahmelik’s “Happiness” keeps the vibe conscious and uplifting, and Akinsanya’s “Egyptian Serenade” adds a deeper, more meditative turn to the sequence. The whole thing lands as a five-track one-way EP released in 2017, and the compact format suits the riddim’s live, organic feel without overworking it.
