Dash Out Riddim (2011) – DJ Frass Records

DJ Frass’s Dash Out Riddim lands in his 2011 run of dancehall-to-soca projects, and this one leans into a breezy, party-ready swing with the kind of bright, percussive lift that suits a Carnival season set. Cecile’s “Yuh Wicked Enn, ” Charly Blacks’ “Gimmie Some, ” and Lady Saw’s “Ina Yuh Bed” give the rhythm its sharpest hooks, while Demarco keeps the energy cheeky on “A Dah Wine Deh” and the DJ Frass instrumental ties it all together with a stripped-back version of the pattern. The release runs to 11 tracks and 7 different artists, with clean and raw cuts for the main singles, plus Mad Dog’s “Bamboo” and Sunshine’s “A Who Dem A Ramp Wid” filling out the lineup.
