Chandelier Riddim – Various Artists

CHANDELIER RIDDIM produced by VARIOUS ARTISTS 2008

The Chandelier Riddim comes across like one of those 2008 juggling sets that keeps the focus on voice and attitude rather than flash, with Delly Ranx, Turbulence, Nicky B and Irie Love giving it the kind of spread that lets the rhythm breathe in different directions. It was cut as a 13-track reggae compilation, and the lineup leans heavy on seasoned deejays alongside a few smoother singers, so you get the rough-edged talkers sitting right next to more melodic cuts. Delly Ranx’s “Corner Dem” and Turbulence’s “For The Peeps” give the set its bite, while Irie Love’s title track adds a softer, more polished touch. The sequencing moves from streetwise openers into moodier late-set cuts, which makes the tracklist feel arranged to keep the energy shifting rather than running in one straight line.
