De Other Mix Riddim – Penthouse Records

Bushman’s “Revolt” gives De Other Mix Riddim its bite straight away, with that tough-rooted delivery sitting nicely against Penthouse Records’ polished 2004 cut. Jah Mali’s “Miles In The Sky” softens the edges a little, leaning into the same clean, melodic feel that made Penthouse so reliable in that era, so the two tunes end up reading like different angles on the same mood rather than a throwaway two-song set. It’s a small release, just three tracks including the version, but that stripped-down format leaves the focus on the singers and the rhythm’s steady forward motion, almost like a little Penthouse time capsule.
