Dentist Visit Riddim – Y-not Productions

There’s a dry, cheeky little dancehall pulse running through Dentist Visit Riddim, the kind of one-drop-to-midtempo swing that leaves room for the voicing to do the talking. Y-not Productions keeps the set lean in 2012, and Lynch Kid’s “Sometimes Love” is the tune that gives it the warmest human edge, sitting neatly against King Youth’s more direct “Come Inna Me Bed. ” The producer’s own instrumental cut sits in the middle of the three-track lineup, which gives the project a tidy, almost self-contained feel and lets you hear how the whole thing was framed. It’s a small release, but that’s part of the charm, right down to the name.
