HOT STEPPER OR PARTY TIME RIDDIM produced by GOLD DISC RECORDS 1990
Hot Stepper Or Party Time Overview
In 1990, a new reggae riddim began its journey in Jamaica’s studios. Built on deep basslines and a steady groove, the riddim was created as a strong foundation for both rising and established singers to share their voices. The original builder of this riddim set out to keep the roots sound alive, blending tradition with a fresh energy. GOLD DISC RECORDS, a label known for supporting conscious reggae and dancehall, took the project forward. The label had already made a mark with several vinyl releases and was respected for giving young talents a platform. For this release, GOLD DISC RECORDS brought together a mix of legendary and up-and-coming artists, making the riddim a showcase of voices. Beres Hammond, one of reggae’s most loved singers, brought heartfelt emotion to “See You Tomorrow.” Frankie Paul, known for hits like “Sara” and his smooth vocal style, delivered “Back To Old Times.” The Tamlins, a harmony group respected for their work with Peter Tosh, added soulful depth on “Just For You.” Johnny Osburne, famous for songs like “Buddy Bye,” contributed the reflective “Write Myself A Letter.” Ini Kamoze, who would later score a global hit with “Here Comes the Hotstepper,” made his mark with “Hot Stepper.” Instrumentalist Dean Fraser offered “Dream Time,” while Tony Rebel, General Trees, Charlie Chaplin, and Tippa Lee & Rappa Robert added powerful, conscious lyrics to the mix. Each artist gave the riddim a unique flavor.
