Im IN The Mood For Love Riddim – Techniques

Eight cuts make this one feel like a proper late-’80s Techniques showcase, with the old rocksteady title phrase resurfacing in a sweeter, more modern dancehall setting. Frankie Paul’s “I Need A Love” and Sanchez’s “Loneliness” carry the strongest emotional pull, while Chevelle Franklyn’s “Falling In Love” and Conroy Smith’s “Uptown Girl” keep the sequence lively; the riddim itself is tied to Winston Riley’s Techniques camp, and it’s one of those versions that keeps a soft, melodic sway underneath the voices rather than pushing too hard. You also get the label’s own name back in the mix with The Techniques and Lady G on “Samfie Lover, ” plus Thriller U on “Just Once” and Tinga Stewart on “Sweet Feeling, ” all on the 1988 run of the I’m In The Mood For Love riddim.
