Dark Side Riddim (2011) – Filomuzik/Dutra Records

Landing from the Italian reggae underground in 2011, Dark Side Riddim pairs Filomuzik and Dutra Records with a compact four-voice lineup and a straight-to-the-point mix cut. Tony D opens with “Am a Survivor, ” followed by Dark Angel’s “Jah Light, ” Bobo Sind’s “Male Non Fare, ” and John Blazz on “Mercy Please, ” so the set moves like a quick showcase rather than a sprawling compilation. The sequencing keeps the vocal tunes front and center before the closing riddim mix, which runs the instrumental back in one final pass. Filomuzik and Dutra handle both the production and the mix, and the release is dated 2011.
