FIREPLACE RIDDIM produced by MAK RECORDS 2015
Fireplace Overview
In 2015, the bashment rhythm took on a new life in the hands of a talented riddim creator. The Fireplace Riddim was born in a small but busy yard studio, where the energy of Kingston’s nights shaped every beat. MAK RECORDS, known for its sharp ear and tight productions, guided the project from the first demo to the final mix. The label had already made a mark in the dancehall world, with a reputation for launching fresh voices and keeping the roots of the genre alive. As the riddim took shape, a lineup of strong voices stepped up. Blessed I Medhuku delivered “Shake It,” a track that quickly became a favorite in dancehall circles. Just Nice, who had already gained attention for his work on the track “Minister,” brought a conscious edge to the mix. Kantedius added streetwise lyrics with “Cctv,” giving the riddim a sense of urgency and realism. King Ashwet’s “Yo Time Shall Kom” and Mak’s “Better Life” added more flavor, each artist bringing their own style to the project. Each track flowed into the next, creating a journey that selectors loved to drop at late-night parties. The mix showed how yard studios could still set the pace in the digital age, blending tradition and modern sound. With MAK RECORDS behind it, the Fireplace Riddim proved that dancehall’s heartbeat was still strong in 2015. The selector’s mix became a symbol of those unforgettable dancehall nights, where every tune told a story.
