Iron Sky Riddim – Music Slave Records

Ten tracks, ten voices, and no wasted space: Iron Sky Riddim keeps its focus on a tight 2013 dancehall set from Music Slave Records, with Badd Indyan, Minah Jane and Latoya pairing off on “My Girlfriend’s Friend” while Beenie G, Junior Garrison and Lucie Singer carry the rest of the run. The production sits in that late-2000s-to-early-2010s dancehall pocket, all clipped drums, heavy low end and a straight-ahead loop that leaves room for the singers to work the rhythm rather than fight it. “Summer Body” leans into the breezier side of the riddim, but the whole project stays keyed to forward motion and sharp phrasing. Buzzy Buzzie’s version closes it out cleanly, with a bassline that pushes hard underneath the vocal cuts and keeps the tempo brisk enough for the dance.
