Gwaan Bad Riddim – DJ Frass Records

Gwaan Bad Riddim came out in 2014 on DJ Frass Records and taps into the same hard-edged energy that made the 1998 Brukout riddim a touchstone. The juggling pulls in Bugle, Vybz Kartel, Buju Banton, Lady Saw, Mavado, Elephant Man, I-Octane, and others, with raw and clean versions for several cuts. Buju Banton’s Make It gives the release extra weight, while Elephant Man’s Empty Di Clip and Ketch Di Dance bring a more playful bounce. DJ Frass, also known as Andre Gordon, kept the riddim in a strong run of productions that helped define his name in dancehall.
