Mactackle Riddim – In Touch Music

2011 was still a fertile stretch for straight-ahead dancehall riddims, and Mactackle sits right in that lane with a compact five-track run from In Touch Music. Charly Blacks opens with “Gyallis, ” Lady Saw follows with the pointed “When Mi Lef A Man, ” and the whole thing keeps its focus tight rather than overloading the lineup. In Touch Music handled the production credit here, and that matters because the set feels like it was cut with a clear idea of pacing rather than just stacking names. With Stacious on “Bun” and Zamunda closing on “Know Seh, ” the version slot lands in the middle where it belongs, letting the vocal cuts do the talking before the riddim section circles back.
