Gala Riddim – Don Corleon Records

Gala Riddim produced by Don Corleon Records 2010

Gala Overview

Back in 2010, dancehall was full of energy, and the Gala Riddim was one of the hottest rhythms around. When you listen to the selector’s mix, you hear those crisp vocals blending with sharp drum patterns, making every track hit different from others. The bashment arranger made sure the rhythm had that uptempo feel—heavy kicks, rolling snares, and a groove you couldn’t ignore. Recording these tracks was all about getting the right vibe. Artists would step into the booth and ride the rhythm, while the producer kept everything tight and clean. Don Corleon Records, the label behind the Gala Riddim, is run by Donovan "Don Corleon" Bennett. This label is known for pushing modern dancehall forward, with hits like “Drop Leaf Riddim” and collaborations with top artists. Don Corleon’s productions often rack up millions of streams, and he’s respected for his sharp ear and clean sound. On the Gala Riddim, each artist brought their own style. Cecile shines on “Baby Go,” showing off her smooth vocals. Elephant Man, well known for party anthems like “Pon De River Pon De Bank,” keeps things lively on “Another Round.” Jah Vinci’s “Rumour” adds a soulful touch, while Liquid’s “Party Hard” lights up any dancefloor. Mr Vegas & Brown Sugar’s “Addicted” shows Mr Vegas’s knack for catchy hooks—this isn’t surprising since his hit “Heads High” was a chart-topper in the late 1990s.
