Midnight Riddim – Cyanide Records

MIDNIGHT RIDDIM produced by CYANIDE RECORDS 2011

Dark, clipped dancehall runs through Midnight Riddim, a compact 2011 Cyanide Records production that keeps the spotlight on Kari Jess and a tight version cut. The set is short enough to feel focused, with “Gyal Mi Love It” doing the heavy lifting in the middle of the package, while “One Eye Gorrilla” comes in both edit and full form to push the mood a little harder. That repetition gives the riddim a local, almost work-in-progress feel, like the label wanted listeners to sit with the groove rather than race past it. Kari Jess is the only voice on the project, and that makes his performance matter more; he carries the whole thing with a sharp, straight-ahead delivery that matches the Midnight instrumental’s lean, late-night pulse.
