China Claw Riddim – Ajah Records

Ajah Records’ China Claw Riddim came out in 2004 with that sharp little run of early-2000s dancehall voices that could cut through a spare rhythm without much fuss. Anthony B’s “Weed Party” leads the pack, and Elephant Man’s “Jiggy Body” brings the kind of big-room energy that usually grabs the loudest pull-up, while Turbulence’s “Natty Bounce” and Lukie D’s “2 Face” keep the set moving in different directions. The release is set up as a seven-track juggling with one version cut tucked right in the middle, so you get the instrumental held alongside the vocal tunes rather than tagged on at the end. China Claw Riddim lists seven tracks and seven unique artists.
