Freedom Rockers Riddim – Heartical Label And Bdf

Three cuts carry the Freedom Rockers Riddim, but the lineup has enough weight to make it feel bigger: Carlton Livingston, David Hinds of Steel Pulse with X Hinds, and General Levy all take a turn on Heartical and BDF’s 2013 production. The riddim comes from Basque Dub Foundation’s Inyaki Yarritu, and that connection gives it a proper roots-and-rockers discipline, with a steady skank, warm bass, and enough space for the vocals to ride cleanly without crowding the mix. Carlton Livingston’s “High Horse” has the most veteran rub-a-dub feel, David Hinds brings a reflective edge on “Soon Come, ” and General Levy’s “Flick Flick” pushes the cut into sharper deejay territory. The whole thing stays mid-tempo and rolling, with the bassline doing most of the talking.
