Desert Storm Riddim – Maximum Sound

DESERT STORM RIDDIM produced by MAXIMUM SOUND 1999

Desert Storm Riddim from Maximum Sound landed in 1999 with a tight seven-track run that brings together Crissy D and General Degree, Sean Paul, Red Rat, Future Troubles, Zumjay and Italee. Sean Paul’s Back Off and Red Rat’s Throw Me Off are two of the best-known cuts here, while the vocal mix keeps the rhythm moving with a raw late-90s dancehall feel. The riddim is credited to Frenchie, the Maximum Sound producer behind plenty of enduring UK and Jamaican dancehall work, and the set also turns up on later Maximum Sound compilations, which shows how well the pattern has held up.
