MILLENNIUM TAXI RIDDIM produced by V1 RECORDS 2000
Millennium Taxi Overview
The Millennium Taxi Riddim, released in 2000, is known as a strong foundation rhythm in reggae music. This riddim is closely linked to sound system culture, where DJs and selectors play versions of a single rhythm track, letting many artists bring their own style and message. The Millennium Taxi Riddim stood out for its heavy percussion and steady bass, making it a favorite for sound system sessions and dances. V1 RECORDS produced this project. The label is known for focusing on roots reggae and has worked with many respected artists in the genre. Their productions often highlight live instruments and classic reggae sounds. V1 RECORDS helped keep the roots tradition alive during a time when dancehall was becoming more popular. Dub engineers also played a big part in the Millennium Taxi Riddim. By mixing and reshaping the tracks, they added echo, reverb, and effects, giving the riddim a deeper, more dynamic sound. This made the riddim even more powerful when played on big sound systems. Several artists recorded songs on this foundation. Saba delivered “This Millennium,” while Utan Green sang “No Stopping Us Now.” Capleton Feat (Uplifter — Africa Bound; Uplifter) performed “Africa Bound,” and Luciano recorded “Ill Follow Thee.” Luciano is well known for his song “Sweep Over My Soul” and has been nominated for a Grammy Award.
