Distress Riddim – Dennis Star

Distress produced by Dennis Star, June Star for Dennis Star in 1989

Distress Riddim by Dennis Star, produced by Dennis Star and June Star for Dennis Star in 1989, gathers nine cuts from the late dancehall era, with Beenie Don’s Them A Lecture, Early B’s Know Me, Flourgon’s Squeeze Mi Lover, and Richie Stephens’ Dibbi Dibbi Sound Boy among the key tracks. The set also includes Dennis Star Crew’s own Rhythm Distress and the Red Dragon and Flourgon combination Follow Me, giving the riddim a mix of solo DJ cuts and duet energy. Dennis Star’s name turns up on several late-’80s and early-’90s reggae projects, and this one sits firmly in that active studio period, with a compact tracklist and a sound that reflects the 1989 sound system era.
