Inna Mi Yard Riddim – Jamstone Sound Digital

Mellow and rootsy, the Inna Mi Yard Riddim carries that easy skank and bright, open-air feel Jamstone Digital likes to circle back to, with the title cut from Pierodread and Askala Selassie setting the tone before VC’s “No New World Order” lands with a sharper, more militant edge. KG Man and Payne’s “We Need Love” has the most immediate hook in the bunch, while Ras Pepy and Mikilootzu’s “Orizzonte” gives the project a slightly more European lilt that suits the label’s wider reach. Compared with Jamstone’s earlier footing, this one feels less like a one-off compilation and more like a neat return to production after time spent pushing the sound system side of the camp. It sits comfortably in the label’s catalogue of free, artist-focused reggae sets, with 2013 roots energy and a small but well-picked lineup.
