Microwave Riddim – Pure Music Production

Microwave Riddim came out of the 2012 dancehall lane with a sharp, mid-tempo pulse and a line-up that leans on names who know how to ride a tough rhythm. Pure Music Production keeps the arrangement spare enough for the vocals to hit cleanly, and the set moves from Delly Ranx’s “Dem Gone” into Sizzla’s “Push On” and Thriller U’s “I Will Survive, ” which gives the compilation a nice spread between hard-talk and melody. Sizzla turns up twice, with “Push On” and “Crush Dem, ” while tracks like Briggy Benz’s “Talk Di Tings Dem” and Tony Matterhorn and Karim Hype’s “We A Gallis” keep the energy geared toward dancefloor braggadocio. The package also includes an instrumental version, and the riddim is credited to Delly Ranks under the Pure Music label.
