Miss Wire Waist Riddim – Penthouse Records

MISS WIRE WAIST RIDDIM produced by PENTHOUSE RECORDS 2015

Miss Wire Waist Overview

Reggae fans know the power of a good riddim, and in 2015, the Miss Wire Waist Riddim brought real roots energy to the scene. This riddim was made for sound system culture—those late night dances where the bassline shakes the ground and every track gets a forward. The heartbeat of the riddim gave DJs and selectors a solid foundation to keep the crowd moving. Behind the scenes, the studio hands at PENTHOUSE RECORDS played a big part. Penthouse is a respected Jamaican label, started by Donovan Germain in the late 1980s. The label is known for working with big names like Buju Banton and Beres Hammond, and for helping to keep the roots and dancehall traditions alive. With Miss Wire Waist Riddim, Penthouse showed again how they can blend classic vibes with new energy. Several artists brought their own style to the riddim. Almir gave us “Miss Wire Waist,” a tune with a catchy hook that fits perfectly on any sound system. Byron Lee and The Dragonaires, famous for their role in spreading Jamaican music worldwide and for their hit “Tiny Winey,” also recorded “Miss Wire Waist.” Carl Malcolm, known for the classic “Fattie Bum Bum,” joined in with his version of “Miss Wire Waist.” Dalton Harris, who later won the UK’s The X Factor in 2018, sang “Words Of Wisdom” over the riddim.
