First Date Overview

In 2006, the foundation rhythm known as the First Date Riddim became a key sound in reggae events. This rhythm stood out because it blended classic reggae with smooth touches from other genres. You could hear hints of R&B and soul mixed into the reggae beat, making it easy for listeners from different backgrounds to enjoy. Artists like Desrene, J C Lodge, and Johannes Schetz each brought their own style to the First Date Riddim. Desrene’s song "Last Date" has a gentle groove that matches her heartfelt singing. J C Lodge, who is well-known for her hit "Telephone Love," added her track "Yours For Life" to the riddim. Her soft vocals and experience in reggae music gave the riddim a special touch. Johannes Schetz performed "First Date," bringing a relaxed and thoughtful mood to the collection. The roots selector played an important role by choosing the right tracks and keeping the vibe true to reggae’s roots. This helped the riddim stay popular at dances and on the radio. SPICE ISLE RECORDS produced the First Date Riddim. The label, known for promoting conscious reggae music from Grenada, helped artists share positive messages. Their careful production made sure the riddim sounded clean and timeless. In 2006, this foundation rhythm showed how reggae could grow while still keeping its true spirit.
