HOLD ON & MIDAS RIDDIM produced by REALITY SOUND 2018
Hold On And Midas Overview
In 2018, the roots anthology “Hold On And Midas Riddim” brought a fresh wave of reggae to listeners everywhere. The journey of the dub cut started in the studio, where arranger Reality Sound shaped the music’s deep, rolling rhythms. Reality Sound, also known for producing under the Reality Sound label, has a reputation for blending classic reggae with modern touches, making tracks that work both on stage and in playlists. The riddim’s foundation was carefully built, using live instruments and echoes of classic dub. Each layer was crafted to keep the roots spirit alive while adding new energy for today’s dancefloors. The dub cut, in particular, highlights the arranger’s skill, letting the bassline and echo effects shine. A group of respected artists joined this project. King Lorenzo, known for “Never Turn My Back On You,” brought his soulful delivery and roots credentials. Culture Rebel added “More Love,” continuing his tradition of conscious lyrics. Anthony John, with “Party Time,” showed the same lively style that earned him recognition in Europe’s reggae scene, where he has toured widely. Jobe’s “Hold On” and Doniki’s “Jah Love” both carried messages of hope and unity. Each artist’s unique voice added to the riddim’s lasting appeal. Even years later, the anthology stands as a reminder of reggae’s power in 2018, linking tradition with new creativity. The dub cut’s journey from studio to release captured the heart of roots reggae, keeping its message alive for a new generation.
