FRESH RIDDIM produced by DIGITAL B 1994
Fresh Overview
In 1993, selectors played a special compilation that captured the true spirit of dancehall sound system culture. The music was built on a strong riddim, perfect for the dancefloor. Selectors chose this release for their sessions because it brought people together, kept the energy high, and matched the lively mood of the dances. Behind the scenes, the sound engineer played a big part by shaping the heavy bass and clean vocals. Every detail was tuned to make sure the music sounded great on large speakers. The producer for this project was DIGITAL B, a key figure in dancehall. DIGITAL B is the label started by Bobby Digital Dixon, who became famous for producing hits for artists like Shabba Ranks and Garnett Silk. The label is known for its modern sound and big influence on reggae and dancehall music in the 1990s. The compilation featured some of the top names of the time. Beenie Man’s "To All The Youths" brought his signature energy—he would later become one of dancehall’s biggest stars, winning a Grammy for Best Reggae Album in 2001. Bunny Brown delivered "My Whole World Is Falling Down" with soulful vocals. Terror Fabulous, known for his hit "Action" with Nadine Sutherland, contributed "Almighty God." Terry Ganzie’s "Jah Jah De Don" and Turbo Belly’s "Can't Beat We Haffi Friend We" added more flavor, making the release a favorite for selectors and dancers alike.
