EYEWATER RIDDIM produced by JET STAR MUSIC
Eyewater Overview
In 1999, dancehall was alive with energy, and the Eyewater Riddim yard session tape captured that spirit. The journey started in the studio, where JET STAR MUSIC, a respected UK-based label known for its Reggae Gold compilation series, brought together some of the best voices in the scene. The producer’s vision was clear: create a riddim that felt fresh, but stayed true to the roots of dancehall. Selectors quickly picked up the tape for their sound systems. The riddim’s smooth groove drew crowds in, and the lineup of artists made it a must-play. Ambelique’s “Bluer Than Blues” set the tone with his soulful delivery. Antonio followed with “Good Old Days,” bringing nostalgia to the dance. Don Campbell, who had already found chart success with lovers rock hits in the UK, delivered “Rise,” adding his signature warmth. Freddie McGregor, a legend with hits like “Big Ship,” gave the tape even more weight with “Love Must Conquer.” Peter Hunnigale, known for his lovers rock classics, contributed “Never,” showing his smooth style. Each artist brought their own flavor, but together, they created a unified sound that selectors loved. This yard session tape became a favorite in 1999, spreading from yard parties to big dances, and proving the power of a well-crafted riddim and a strong lineup.
