HARD ROCK RIDDIM produced by PICKOUT RECORDS 1999
Hard Rock Overview
The dub cut for the Hard Rock Riddim came together in the studio with careful planning. The studio hand guided the session, focusing on a roots reggae sound. They used classic instruments and effects to create a deep, echo-filled version. This creative direction helped shape the overall feel of the riddim. PICKOUT RECORDS produced the project. The label was started by Lloyd Dennis in the 1980s in Jamaica. PICKOUT RECORDS is known for releasing dancehall and reggae music, and has worked with many important artists. The label’s influence can be heard in the strong, uplifting vibe of the Hard Rock Riddim. Bushman’s track, “Life,” stands out with his clear voice and thoughtful lyrics. Bushman is well-known for his hit “Fire Bun a Weak Heart.” Delroy Stewart brings a smooth touch with “My Love Is Your Love.” His soulful style fits the riddim perfectly. Spanner Banner’s song, “Give A Little Love,” adds warmth and melody. Spanner Banner is recognized for “Life Goes On,” a song that reached the UK reggae charts. Steelie And Clevie created the “Hard Rock Riddim Version,” giving the compilation its dub foundation. Their work as a production duo has shaped many reggae and dancehall hits. In 1999, this compilation was often played in cultural sets, showing its place in the roots reggae movement of that year.
