Event Riddim 2 – Zimdancehall Compilation

EVENT RIDDIM 2 – ZIMDANCEHALL COMPILATION 2014

A quick look at the 2014 Event Riddim 2 package shows a Zimdancehall set that’s more about local movement than big-name chasing, though Chronixx’s “Behind Curtain (Weedy D Dubplate)” gives it a useful outside link. The riddim itself feels tuned for the dancefloor: clipped, propulsive, and bright enough to let voices like Captane Dk on “Carried Away, ” Jay Whailer on “She Nah Crazy, ” and Taliban Cliff on “Tun Up” cut through without crowding each other. What’s interesting is how the selection leans into everyday party talk and swagger while still keeping a regional identity intact, with “Wuk Yuh Body” and “Inzwa Babie” pushing the tempo a little harder. It’s the kind of compilation that catches the scene mid-stride, not polished to death, with the dubplate angle and the 2014 timestamp hanging there like a small footnote.
