CHILDREN PLAY RIDDIM produced by TAITU RECORDS 2023
Children Play Overview
The foundation rhythm of the Children Play Riddim brings a deep, steady pulse that feels both classic and fresh. The bassline is heavy and warm, while the drums keep a steady skank, making it easy to nod along. There’s a rootsy feel that nods to the old-school reggae sound, but there’s also a crispness that fits today’s music. This blend gives the riddim its own character, standing out among 2023 reggae releases. Several key artists came together on this project. Russ D lays down his tune “Plastic World,” showing off his skill for mixing conscious lyrics with a strong groove. Willi Williams, known worldwide for his classic anthem “Armagideon Time,” brings “Real Dub” to the table, adding his signature roots style. The Tamlins, a respected vocal trio with a long history in reggae, deliver “No Love,” giving the riddim a soulful touch. Russ D & Taitu Records join forces for “Love Dub,” highlighting their tight production and deep dub vibes. Russ D also brings “Children Play,” while Icho Candy, famous for his roots anthem “Captain Selassie I,” adds “Children Dub,” keeping the message strong. Behind it all is TAITU RECORDS, a label known for sticking close to reggae’s roots. Based in the UK, TAITU RECORDS has built a reputation for quality roots and dub productions since the early 2000s, working with both veteran and rising artists. Their careful production helps shape the sound and keeps the music true to its roots. Looking back, the Children Play Riddim foundation rhythm carried reggae’s message in 2023, connecting new voices with classic roots energy.
