Love Jump Riddim – Upsetta Records And Flow Productions

A warm, rootsy bounce runs through Love Jump Riddim, with live-sounding guitars and a summer-day lift that keeps the whole thing moving without leaning too hard into big-room dancehall noise. Upsetta Records and Flow Productions had already built a reputation for sturdy, melody-minded riddims, and this one sits neatly alongside that earlier work while feeling a little lighter on its feet. Perfect Giddimani’s “Amsterdam Coffeeshop” is the easy hook here, full of the kind of sly, singalong phrasing he does so well, while Aisha Davis and Mr. Lexx turn “We Got Love (Cherry Lipstick Remix)” into the most immediate crossover cut on the set. Jah Teff, Natural Black and Fabian keep the voice roster varied, so the EP never settles into one mood for too long. It’s a concise six-track slice of the producer-duo’s 2016 run, and one of the cleaner showcases of that Upsetta x Flow partnership.
