A dark, percussive dancehall groove with a tense, minor-key feel runs through Dark Shades Riddim, and Black Shadow Record keeps the energy tight by framing it with clean and raw cuts on key tracks. I Waata’s “Wul Up” is the hardest-edged of the bunch, while Dovey Magnum’s “Shuffle the Deck” and Sashie Cool’s “Dark” bring different shades of swagger to the same riddim. Dre Santaana also appears twice with “Raid, ” and the set closes on the instrumental, which lets the bassline and drum pattern hang in the air on its own. The 2021 release totals nine tracks from six artists, with Black Shadow handling the production throughout.
