Joy Ride Riddim – Madhouse Records

Released in 1996, Joy Ride Riddim from Madhouse Records is a strong old-school dancehall set with a big lineup that includes Frisco Kid, Baby Cham, Mr. Easy, Beenie Man, Wayne Wonder, Lady Saw, Tanya Stephens, Spragga Benz, Alley Cat, and Silvercat. The riddim carries the kind of sharp, mid-90s Madhouse energy that made Dave Kelly’s productions so influential, and the collection moves from Beenie Man’s Silent Violence and Lady Saw’s Sycamore Tree to standout cuts like Wayne Wonder’s Bashment Girl and the Baby Cham and Wayne Wonder collaboration Joy Ride. It’s a neat snapshot of Madhouse in its prime, with slick party-ready songs and plenty of crossover appeal for both hardcore dancehall fans and casual listeners.
