Far East Riddim (Dancehall’s Gold Era, Vol.16 ) produced by King Jammys Productions 2025
Far East Overview
The new Far East Riddim is making waves on playlists in 2025, and it is easy to hear why. The party backdrop is built for the dance floor, with a strong, steady beat and lively percussion that gets people moving right away. This mix stands out from other riddims of its era because it blends classic reggae roots with a fresh, modern touch. While many mixes today use heavy electronic sounds, Far East Riddim keeps things organic but still sounds new. Barry Brown opens with “Far East,” bringing his signature roots style. Barry Brown is well known for his hits in the late 1970s and early 1980s, like “Step It Up Youthman.” Cocoa Tea delivers “Tune In,” showing why he remains a favorite in reggae. Cocoa Tea is famous for “Rikers Island” and has worked with artists like Shabba Ranks. King Kong’s “Let Jah Rise” adds a powerful energy, and General Jah Mikey’s “Foot Print” brings a smooth, conscious vibe. Home T 4’s “Going My Way” rounds out the set with sweet harmonies. The sound engineer’s role here is clear: every vocal and instrument sits perfectly in the mix, keeping the energy high and the sound crisp. King Jammys Productions, the producer, is legendary in reggae and dancehall. King Jammy is known for helping to launch digital dancehall in the 1980s with the Sleng Teng riddim, a true milestone in reggae history.
