DEM TALKING RIDDIM produced by REGGAELAND PRODUCTIONS 2011
Dem Talking Overview
The Dem Talking Riddim, released in 2011 by REGGAELAND PRODUCTIONS, is a standout in modern reggae. The musical backdrop is filled with conscious sounds, echoing the roots reggae of earlier decades. During this era, many reggae productions were moving towards digital beats and dancehall influences. However, Dem Talking Riddim keeps a classic, organic feel. The basslines are deep and steady, the drums are warm, and the melodies are simple but powerful. This gives the riddim a timeless quality that sets it apart from other recordings of its time. REGGAELAND PRODUCTIONS, based in Spain, is known for working with both local and Jamaican artists. The label has a reputation for high-quality roots reggae and has reached listeners worldwide through streaming platforms. The studio hand’s careful touch is clear in every track, as each song blends perfectly with the riddim’s flow. Artists like Anthony Que on “Poor People Cry Out” use the backdrop to deliver heartfelt messages. Chezidek’s “Cyaan Cut Me Ganja” rides the rhythm with ease, while Ginjah & Singer Jah join together on “Bless Dem” for a powerful duet. Ginjah returns solo with “Dem Talking,” and Jah Mali’s “No Weapon” stands strong with its uplifting lyrics. Each artist brings their own style, but the riddim ties them all together. Other tracks, including Jah Nattoh & Bocer’s “Porque,” Malijah’s “Ruling Sound,” Norris Man’s “Inna Time Like This,” Seven Seals’ “Bun The Herbs,” and Singer Jah’s “Try & Do Good,” show the riddim’s versatility. The conscious musical backdrop of Dem Talking Riddim remains an important piece of reggae history, connecting past and present with its rootsy energy.
