Dutty Romance Riddim – Macro Records

Macro Records’ Dutty Romance Riddim (2010) brings together a dancehall set of vocal styles from Boom Da Bash (Coming Home), Konshens and Brusco (She Wants Me), Fido Guido (Don’t Take It For Granted), and Gappy Ranks (Girl Next Door), with Killacat (Un Giorno Migliore) rounding things out. Million Stylez is on Summertime, while Macro Marco supplies the title riddim instrumental, keeping the focus on the riddim’s tight, summertime-leaning groove. The project’s production is credited to Macro Marco for Macro Beats Records, and you can hear his touch particularly on the way the instrumentals frame the more melodic delivery from the lineup—especially on Gappy Ranks’ and Boom Da Bash’s cuts.
