Intercom Riddim – Various Labels

Intercom produced by Ricky Berry, Bert Neil, King Jammy, Frenchie, Triston Palmer, Nigel Burrell, Tad Dawkins, Tad Dawkins Jr for Rambo, Park Birth, Jammy’s, Maximum Sound, Creation, Dream, Fire Cracker, Big Yard in 1986

Intercom Riddim comes from 1986 and is credited to a wide circle of producers and labels including Ricky Berry, Bert Neil, King Jammy, Frenchie, Triston Palmer, Nigel Burrell, Tad Dawkins and Tad Dawkins Jr, with links to Rambo, Park Birth, Jammy’s, Maximum Sound, Creation, Dream, Fire Cracker and Big Yard. The riddim later resurfaced in the 2000s on the Maximum Sound side, which helps explain why it keeps turning up across different eras of dancehall. Admiral Tibet’s What We Need Is Love, Beenie Man’s Mi And Her Go Out, Bounty Killer and Lukie D’s Kill Another Sound, Burro Banton’s Man Guinep and Capleton’s Rise Dem Up are among the better-known cuts on the rhythm, alongside Anthony B and Gyptian entries. It has that busy late-80s dancehall feel, but the lineup shows how long the pattern stayed useful, moving from the original era into later voicings without losing its edge.
