Chase The Devil Riddim – Upsetter, Ariwa

Chase The Devil produced by Lee Scratch Perry, Mad Professor for Upsetter, Ariwa in 1976

Chase The Devil Riddim (1976) brings together the original Lee Scratch Perry and Upsetters cut with later Ariwa-era versions, linking the classic Max Romeo anthem Chase The Devil and The Upsetters’ Croaking Lizard with 2009 takes from Macka B, Susan Cadogan, and Dub. Produced around Perry’s Upsetter camp and Mad Professor’s Ariwa circle, the selection mixes roots vocal fire with dubwise revisions, and the standout hook is still the unmistakable Chase The Devil line that has carried the riddim for decades. Macka B’s Ganja and Arriwa Sound add a more modern deejay flavor, while Susan Cadogan’s You Turn Me On brings a softer vocal contrast to the set.
