ENERGY RIDDIM produced by SHOCKING VIBES 2006
Energy Overview
When the Energy Riddim compilation dropped in 2006, dancehall fans quickly took notice. The riddim’s upbeat tempo and catchy hooks made it a favorite at parties and dancehalls across Jamaica and beyond. Many listeners praised the set for bringing together strong voices and fresh energy, setting the mood for the year’s bashment scene. Tanto Metro And Devonte stood out with their track "40 Gal." The duo were already well known for their international hit "Everyone Falls In Love," and their appearance on this compilation added star power. Fyah’s "So Hot" brought a fiery vibe, while Mr Brilliant offered two tracks: "Nature Call" and "Confrontation," showing his versatility on the riddim. Future Fambo, recognized for his later collaboration on "Rum & Red Bull" with Beenie Man, delivered "Dont Hurt Me," adding his unique style. Blazey Blazey got dancers moving with "Lets Do The Dance," making sure the riddim kept the party going. The project was engineered and released by SHOCKING VIBES, a respected label in dancehall known for launching the careers of artists like Beenie Man. SHOCKING VIBES, led by Patrick Roberts, had a long history of shaping the sound of 1990s and 2000s dancehall. Energy Riddim’s success in 2006 confirmed the label’s ongoing influence and ability to deliver memorable dancehall moments.
