Gal A Whine Riddim – Curfew International / Jahpal Music

Curfew International and Jahpal Music had already been leaning into a run of sharp, straightforward dancehall releases in 2021, and Gal A Whine Riddim fits that stretch with a compact six-track set that keeps the focus on the dancers. The rhythm has that taut, party-ready feel: tight drums, hard bass, and enough open space for the vocals to ride without crowding the mix. Ceekaih’s Back It Up is the most obvious hook here, while Don Antoni, Ras Kelly and Diallo push the title cut with a cocky, waistline-first energy that suits the whole thing. Ripley Man’s Floor Yu Tek is the cut that keeps the pressure on, and the closer, Shocking Blue’s Dance Yu Fi Dance, leaves the riddim in full bashment mode.
