Bunx Bunx Riddim – Deano Deann Records

Deano Deann Records has been working the dancehall lane for years, and Bunx Bunx Riddim feels like another chapter in that catalogue rather than a one-off experiment. The imprint has previous rhythm projects and singles to its name, and it has also surfaced on releases with younger voices in the scene, which gives this one a familiar, grassroots feel. This riddim arrives in 2026 and sits squarely in the modern dancehall pocket, where the emphasis is on bounce, chant-ready hooks, and DJ lines that can travel in a selector’s juggling set.

What makes Bunx Bunx click is the title itself: everything points to a crude, playful, heavily percussive dancehall idea, the sort of rhythm built for crowd reaction and quick call-and-response phrasing. The cuts attached to it suggest that energy. Rengeh Dan’s Bang Di Bomb sounds like the kind of tune designed to cut through a dance with blunt force, while Kurency’s Bunx and Ezranik’s Spank keep the project in that raunchy, streetwise zone dancehall still thrives on. Jayike’s Favor adds a different angle, giving the riddim a little more melodic breathing room and keeping it from becoming pure shock value. Deano Deann himself also appears on the instrumental side with Bunx Bunx Riddim, which helps frame the whole set as a producer-led piece rather than just a loose compilation.

The stronger riddim projects are the ones where every voice feels like it’s pushing the same idea from a slightly different angle, and that’s the appeal here. Bunx Bunx Riddim is geared for the party, but it also has enough personality in its voicings to feel like a proper release, not just a beat with a few names attached.
