Cool It Riddim – Digital English

COOL IT RIDDIM produced by DIGITAL ENGLISH 2007

Cool It Overview

Back in 2007, the “Cool It Riddim” dub release brought a fresh wave to reggae sound systems. The roots selector played a big part, choosing tracks that kept the dancefloor moving and the culture alive. The riddim’s deep grooves and strong basslines were perfect for selectors who wanted to share conscious reggae music. Behind the release was producer DIGITAL ENGLISH, a respected name in the UK reggae scene. DIGITAL ENGLISH is known for his work as a roots reggae producer and for running the Digital English label, which has put out many sought-after vinyl releases. His productions are recognized for their crisp sound and powerful vocal harmonies. The artists shaped the riddim’s unique vibe. Carlton Livingston’s “Everybody Lets Dance” brought his smooth voice, well known from his classic hit “100 Weight of Collie Weed.” Digital English All Stars delivered “Cool Dub,” adding a heavy instrumental that selectors loved to spin. Don Angelo’s “Selassie I The 1st” carried a conscious message, while Glen Brown’s “Equal Rights And Justice” brought roots authority—Glen Brown is famous for his influential work in 1970s reggae. The Meditations, with “Cool It,” added sweet harmonies; they are known for their album “Message From The Meditations,” which is a staple in reggae collections. This collection still carries the true spirit of 2007 reggae and dub. Each track is a reminder of how roots music moves people, both then and now.
