BUZZ MADININA RIDDIM 2003

Pulled from Martinique’s dancehall scene, Buzz Madinina Riddim catches DJ Scientifik in that early-2000s Antilles pocket where French-Creole vocals, rattling drums and choppy digital skanks all hit at once. The set moves nicely between tougher cuts like Big Jay’s “Sanm On Badman” and Kenzy’s “Hardko, ” while Little’s “Mwen Ka Vinn Fou” and the Zicko/DJ Scientifik link-up “Malade” give it a sharper local identity. Scientifik handles the riddim himself on No Mystery Empire, and that self-contained feel suits the project; it sounds like a crew tape made for the islands first, with a quick version cut tucked in for good measure.
