Makka Tree came out of Jamaica’s 2003 juggling season with a warm, mid-tempo groove that leaves plenty of room for the voices to do the heavy lifting. Pure Music Productions pulls a sharp mix of roots singers and dancehall names across the board, and the sweet spot is the run from Determine’s “Sunshine In Your Eye” into Anthony B’s bruised “Broken Hearted Memories” and Luciano with Jah Mason on “Up And In. ” Admiral Bailey, Lady Saw and Lukie D, and Ghost keep the set moving without breaking the mood, which is part of the charm here: it feels like a producer looking to bridge party-ready singles and singer-cut soul. In the Pure Music catalogue, Makka Tree sits neatly alongside the label’s other early-2000s riddims, a snapshot of that period when clarity of melody mattered just as much as the bounce underneath.
