Live Show Riddim – Various Artists

LIVE SHOW RIDDIM produced by VARIOUS ARTISTS 2011

Live Show Overview

In 2011, reggae fans enjoyed a roots anthology that made a strong mark on the scene. The project was produced by VARIOUS ARTISTS, a collective known for working across different reggae subgenres. Over the years, VARIOUS ARTISTS have been involved in several projects that highlight both established and rising talents in reggae and dancehall. Their releases often appear on streaming platforms and have attracted listeners from around the world. The dub cut from this anthology was a favorite in sound system culture, especially at reggae events in 2011. The deep basslines and echoing effects created the perfect vibe for selectors and dancers. Dub versions like this are important in sound system sessions, letting DJs experiment and keep the crowd moving. A key part of this release is the roots craftsman’s touch, which brings authentic reggae instrumentation and soulful melodies. This craftsmanship gives each track a warm, organic feel that connects listeners to the genre’s roots. The anthology features Borderline with "First Lady Reply," Wise with "Stop Act," and Gibbz with "Something Wrong." Gibbz is well-known for his collaborations with other reggae artists, adding depth to his track here. Icon’s "Hafe Mek D Paper" and Lyrics’ "Gyalist" also stand out. Other artists include Mz with "Drink N Drunk," Rus T with "Walk Out," and Seroje with "Gyal Wine." Each track adds its own flavor, making this riddim a memorable part of 2011’s reggae sound.
