Fresh And Clean Riddim – Vibe Recordings

Vibe Recordings’ Fresh And Clean Riddim sits in that busy 2013 wave of compact dancehall juggling plates, the kind built for sound system play rather than long-winded concepts. The set runs seven tracks from six artists, with Krushall getting doubled up on “Badman Life” in both clean and raw versions, which tells you the producer had radio and street use in mind at the same time. Eskaye’s title cut, Fyah Konkara’s “Mi Want A Buss, ” and Smiley G’s “Mad Over Wi” give the riddim its main personalities, while Rekka’s “So Fresh” keeps the theme front and center. It’s a tight sequence, no wasted space, and the split edit/raw placement in the middle gives the whole release a practical, selector-friendly shape.
