Hot Baxx Riddim – Calico Mix Machine

Calico Mix Machine’s Hot Baxx Riddim arrived in 2023 as a five-track dancehall set with five different voices, led by Determine’s Say Dem Bad and backed by Mr Breaka’s Question Sign, Nurain’s Anywhere the River Run and Diallo’s Rise It. The riddim also includes the title cut from Dj Speng, which helps give the project its identity as a compact producer showcase rather than a long compilation. Calico Mix Machine keeps the focus on sharp, modern dancehall energy, and the lineup’s mix of veteran presence and fresh names gives the release a clear 2023 stamp within the year’s riddim runs.
