MISTAKE RIDDIM produced by STONE LOVE 2000
Riddimz Kalacta – “Sounds similar to the Doorslam Riddim produced by Annex in the same year. It has a little twist though….the rattling of “bottles” is more distinct and there’s a piano reverb. Love this!”
Mistake Overview
In the year 2000, dancehall music was full of energy and bold new sounds. The selector’s choice from this era captured the rebellious spirit that was sweeping through Jamaica’s clubs and street dances. The Mistake Riddim stood out as a powerful example, bringing together some of the top voices of the time. Behind the scenes, the studio craftsman STONE LOVE played a major role. Known as one of Jamaica’s legendary sound systems, STONE LOVE started in the 1970s and built a reputation for quality and innovation. Their label became a trusted name for dancehall fans, and their riddims often set trends across the island and beyond. The Mistake Riddim brought together a strong lineup of artists. Beenie Man’s “Mistake” delivered his signature charisma and lyrical style, making it a standout track. Kevin Evil’s “Chi Chi Man Fi Heng” added a raw edge, reflecting the bold themes common in dancehall at the time. Galaxy P’s “Hotness” brought a catchy hook and confident delivery, keeping the dancefloor moving. Gringo’s “Need Not To” and 14k’s “Unleash The Dragon” each offered unique flows, showing the riddim’s versatility and appeal to different audiences. Together, these tracks created a festival-ready sound that felt both rebellious and unifying. The Mistake Riddim, guided by STONE LOVE’s experienced hand and filled with memorable performances, remains an important part of dancehall history. It stands as a reminder of a moment when music, attitude, and culture came together in powerful ways.
