Donno Overview
In 2013, the dancehall scene was full of energy, and one release stood out with its powerful, heavy basslines and upbeat tempo. The Donno Riddim brought a fresh vibe to dancefloors, mixing classic dancehall rhythms with modern club sounds. The riddim’s steady pulse and catchy hooks made it a favorite for DJs and dancers alike, creating a lively atmosphere wherever it played. Several artists helped shape the unique sound of this set. Bandulu’s “A Who Dem” brought strong vocals and a confident style, adding depth to the riddim. Erin delivered a smooth performance on “Cien x Cien,” showing her skill as a singer and songwriter. Ganjahr Family’s “Seguimos En Pie” stood out as well, building on their reputation from earlier successes like their album “No Podrán” in the Spanish reggae scene. Jami Dread added a melodic touch with “Tonight,” while Mad Shak’s “Pistolero” brought sharp lyrics and a driving beat. Each track fit perfectly, yet offered something different, making the riddim feel complete. Behind the scenes, sound engineer and producer LUV MESSENGER played a key role.
