Mood Riddim – Hitgruves Music

MOOD RIDDIM produced by HITGRUVES MUSIC 2015

Mood Overview

In 2015, dancehall found a new anthem with the release of the Mood Riddim. The journey began in the studio with the creative vision of the bashment arranger, who shaped the riddim’s bold, infectious energy. The producer behind the project, HITGRUVES MUSIC, was already known in the dancehall world for building solid, replayable tracks. Their label had a reputation for working with top-tier talent and delivering streaming hits across the Caribbean and beyond. As the riddim took form, it attracted some of the scene’s most respected voices. Konshens stepped in with “Link Up,” bringing his signature style. By this time, Konshens was already celebrated for his hit “Gal a Bubble,” and his presence on the Mood Riddim added star power. Kalado, known for “Personally” and his consistent chart presence, delivered “Reflex,” layering in catchy melodies. Kray — Z came strong with “My Everything,” adding a smooth, heartfelt touch to the project. Bugle, a lyricist recognized for his thoughtful tracks like “Rasta Party,” contributed “Wah Money,” giving the riddim a conscious edge. Darrio brought “Weed Mood,” a laid-back anthem fitting the bashment vibe. Gruve added “No New Friend,” rounding out the selection with a fresh voice. When Mood Riddim dropped, it quickly became a staple. The combination of HITGRUVES MUSIC’s production and the artists’ unique styles defined the bashment sound of that year. Many fans still look back at this release as a turning point for dancehall’s modern era.
