MOGLA RIDDIM produced by PSYKOTIC PRODUCTIONS 2013
Mogla Overview
In 2013, the Mogla Riddim compilation changed the sound of dancehall. This release brought back the strong, classic yard beat but mixed it with modern elements. The result was a fresh energy that many fans and DJs loved. The riddim stood out from other compilations of its time, such as the more pop-influenced or electronic-leaning riddims. Instead, Mogla Riddim kept its roots while still sounding new. A big reason for the compilation’s success was PSYKOTIC PRODUCTIONS, a respected name in dancehall. The producer is known for creating solid, catchy beats that work well on the dancefloor. PSYKOTIC PRODUCTIONS has produced other notable projects and is recognized for helping young artists get attention. The artists on Mogla Riddim each brought their own style. Bas delivered “Hold On,” a track that quickly became popular. Don B’s “Nocky Crook” added a bold, playful touch. Faith, with “Wine Up,” brought a catchy hook that was heard in many parties. Faithfull’s “Like Father Like Son” showed his skill as a storyteller, while Lexikhan’s “Ready Fi Di Gal Dem” kept the bashment vibe alive. Other tracks like Skitta’s “Wine Up Pon Me” and Zapow (Z To D P)’s “Put It Pon Her” added more flavor. The instrumental “Mogla Riddim Version” by Faithfull (For Psykotic) let DJs and fans enjoy the pure beat. Compared to other compilations that year, Mogla Riddim was more focused on bashment energy and the real dancehall sound. It shaped the year’s dancehall parties and is still remembered as a key release from 2013.
