Cali Riddim – Fox Fuse

Cali Riddim rides a bright, easy Caribbean pulse with just enough bite to keep the dance moving. Fox Fuse keeps the arrangement lean and springy, so Macka Diamond’s “Party Time” lands with that same cheeky cut she’s always had, while Nelly Cottoy’s “Jockey Rider” leans into the kind of hook that sticks after one spin. Squid’s “Sweat” and Cali Gray’s “Wicked” sit neatly in the same lane, but it’s the back-and-forth between the vocalists and the polished Fox Fuse production that gives the set its shape. Even the raw version of “Jockey Rider” feels like a useful little extra, tucked in at the end like a bonus for anyone paying close attention.
