Madagasta Overview

In 2007, dancehall was buzzing with new energy. The Madagasta Riddim compilation helped shape this excitement. The beat maker behind the riddim built a sound that was both hypnotic and heavy on bass, making it stand out in crowded dancehall sessions. The producer, VARIOUS ARTISTS, was already known for bringing together strong compilations under their label. They had a history of gathering top talent and shaping riddims that DJs loved to play. When it came time to record, the team invited a select group of artists. Propa delivered “Browning,” a track that quickly caught the attention of fans for its catchy hook and smooth delivery. Ricky Sprakrett added his own flavor with “Hey,” showing his ability to ride any beat with style. Shane teamed up with Baby Chris on “Zeen,” bringing a memorable collaboration to the set. Baby Chris had already made a name for himself with the hit “Ring Ding,” and his appearance on this compilation added to his growing reputation. The set also included “Version — Madagasta Riddim,” giving DJs a pure instrumental to work with. From creation to release, the Madagasta Riddim compilation was built for the dance floor. DJs kept these songs alive in parties, and the riddim’s influence can still be felt in dancehall today.
