Love Is Universal Riddim – DJ Afghan/Delamix

“Love Is Universal” leans into warm roots reggae with a heavyweight guest list, pairing Johnny Osbourne, Echo Minott and Skarra Mucci with younger voices like Teacha Dee, KG Man and Soullee B. The sequencing keeps the energy moving in a fairly classic showcase style, and the set closes with Delamix stepping in on the title cut, which helps frame the whole thing as both a compilation and a producer statement. There’s a nice spread of moods too, from Osbourne’s “Forty Days And Forty Nights” to Echo Minott’s “Uncle Sam Country” and Skarra Mucci’s straight-ahead “Love, ” all riding the same 2013 riddim. It was issued as a 15-track release credited to DJ Afghan and Delamix, dated February 3, 2013.
