Chune Riddim – Drop Di Bass

CHUNE RIDDIM produced by DROP DI BASS 2011

Drop Di Bass leant into raw dancehall energy here rather than the smoother, more polished approach they’d later be linked with, and that rough-edged feel suits Chune Riddim well. The cut is all rattling percussion, tough bass and a tight, no-nonsense pulse that leaves room for Capleton’s “Hot, ” Lady Saw’s “Yuh Man Mi A Look, ” and Sizzla’s “Pon Bwoy” to bite clean through the mix. Determine’s “Fire Key” and Charly Black with Trelawny Citizen’s “Officer Please” add extra colour, but it’s really a selectors’ riddim built for gunshot hooks and floor pressure. The instrumental sits right in the middle of the set, and the later pairing of “Pon Bwoy” in both edit and raw form underlines how the riddim is meant to be played loud and kept moving.
