GLOBAL RIDDIM produced by FIRE LINKS 2006 – RIDDIM DRIVEN
Global Overview
If you love dancehall, you know the power of a true street anthem base. In 2006, a certain riddim dropped with a bass-heavy sound that selectors couldn’t get enough of. The rhythm is pure energy—deep, rolling basslines with sharp snares and kicks that drive the crowd. Its infectious groove made it a staple at dancehall parties, giving DJs the perfect foundation to ignite any dancefloor. The pulse is steady but fierce, and it’s the kind of riddim that makes you want to move from the first beat. This riddim brought together some of the biggest names in dancehall. Beenie Man delivered “Heart Attack,” a track that showcases his signature flow and lyrical style. He also joined D’Angel on “One Man Ft. Beenie Man,” a collaboration that stands out for its chemistry and catchy hook. Elephant Man brought the hype as always, with “Bad Man Forward” and “Set Good”—both tracks that get any crowd jumping. Bunji Garlin added his own flavor with “Globally,” while Lady Saw’s “Something” brought a powerful female presence to the riddim. Macka Diamond’s “Diamonds Are Forever” and T.O.K’s “Global Party” kept the energy high, and Mr. Pepper’s “Screw Face Ft. Mr. Pepper” rounded out the lineup with a tough edge. Behind this release is producer FIRE LINKS, a well-known name in the dancehall scene. FIRE LINKS is respected for his work as both a selector and a producer, bringing fresh sounds to the genre and helping to shape the dancehall sound of the 2000s. This street anthem base is more than just a riddim—it’s a key piece of dancehall history, still remembered and played by fans and selectors today.
