MANIPULATE RIDDIM produced by BUGGIE PRODUCTIONS 2018
Manipulate Overview
In 2018, dancehall was full of big, bass-heavy riddims, but the Manipulate Riddim stood out for its club-ready energy. Selectors loved how every track could turn up a party, making it a favorite for bashment nights that year. A lot of the credit goes to the sound engineer, who gave the riddim its sharp, layered sound. Every drum hit and bassline feels tight, making the riddim perfect for loud speakers and packed dance floors. The engineer’s touch made each song pop, helping the compilation feel fresh even among so many releases. At the center is BUGGIE PRODUCTIONS, a name known for shaping new dancehall sounds. BUGGIE PRODUCTIONS has built a reputation for working with both new and established artists, and their releases have picked up strong streaming numbers in Jamaica and beyond. Their focus on quality has made them a respected label in the dancehall world. The artists on Manipulate Riddim each bring something different. Beenie Man’s “Envious” is a highlight. Beenie Man, often called the “King of Dancehall,” is known worldwide for hits like “Who Am I (Sim Simma)” and a Grammy win for Best Reggae Album in 2001. Fully Bad steps up with “Bad Any Weh,” showing his raw style. Naazir also joins with his own version of “Bad Any Weh,” adding another voice to the riddim’s tough vibe. Candy K brings two tracks: “Pumpum Principle” and “Good Good Principle,” both catchy and bold, adding a playful side to the compilation.
