Jaunty Riddim – Studio 91 Records

Studio 91 Records had a busy hand in 2017, and Jaunty Riddim sits right in that run with a clean, modern dancehall feel that leaves plenty of room for the vocals to move. The set landed in March 2017 and came with ten cuts plus an instrumental, a structure that made it easy to juggle while still giving each artiste a clear lane over the same slippery groove.

Blak Ryno’s “You and I” is one of the sharper names on the project, bringing the voice of the former Portmore Empire deejay into a lighter, relationship-driven space. Delly Ranx gives “Bring Yuh Body” a veteran’s ease, while Teflon’s “Gal I Need” keeps the lovers’ direction in play with a smoother, more melodic pull. Gully Bop’s “Suzan” adds a rougher edge, and Stein’s “Caress Yuh” fits the riddim’s flirtatious mood without overcomplicating it.

Elsewhere, Accid opens with “Trend, ” Corry Dip rides “You’re The One, ” Linky First drops “Live Life, ” Kappa goes with “Tables Turn, ” and Versatile closes the vocal run with “My Type. ” The production has that tidy, mid-tempo dancehall bounce Studio 91 has been known for, with clipped drums, a firm low end and enough space for each singer to phrase around the pocket rather than fight it. The instrumental ties the whole thing together and makes the riddim’s shape easy to hear: lightweight, catchy, and built for forward movement rather than heavy impact.
