In 2008, the yard beat sound was shaping dancehall and reggae. One important riddim from this time is the Calabria Riddim. This riddim mixed gritty drum rolls with a skanking reggae feeling. It became famous for blending different music styles, especially connecting reggae with electronic and pop sounds. DUAL TRACK MUZIK created the Calabria Riddim. This producer is known for making strong, club-driven beats. DUAL TRACK MUZIK’s work often brought together artists from different backgrounds. The riddim reached large audiences and helped create several hits. On the Calabria Riddim, Vybz Kartel performed “Calambria - Roots.” Vybz Kartel is one of Jamaica’s biggest dancehall stars. He is well-known for his hit song “Fever,” which was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in 2020. On this riddim, his unique voice and style added energy to the track. Splinter joined the mix with “Wat A Gal - Roots.” Splinter brought a catchy flow that fit well over the energetic drums and smooth bassline of the riddim.
