Mood Swing Riddim - Tj Records

MOOD SWING RIDDIM produced by TJ RECORDS 2010

Mood Swing Overview

In 2010, dancehall fans got a new spark with a set of songs built on the Mood Swing Riddim. This riddim was crafted by TJ RECORDS, a label known for shaping many big dancehall tracks. TJ RECORDS, led by producer Linton “TJ” White, has worked with top names in dancehall and helped launch several hits in the late 2000s and early 2010s. The Mood Swing Riddim stood out from other dancehall collections of its time. While many riddim sets from 2010 focused on hard, fast beats, this one used hypnotic melodies and a smooth but powerful energy. The singjay style—mixing singing and deejaying—gave each song a unique feel but kept the set connected. Blak Ryno’s “See You Again” brought emotion and catchy hooks. Bugle, known for his conscious lyrics and songs like “Rasta Party,” delivered “Dont Blame Life,” which added depth to the riddim. G Whizz, who had already found success with his hit “Life,” returned to the riddim with another heartfelt track, also called “Life.” The Version—“Mood Swing Riddim Instrumental”—let selectors and fans enjoy the riddim’s pure sound. Vybz Kartel, a major name in dancehall with hits like “Clarks,” brought his style to “Tell Him A Lie.” This dancehall set gave selectors new energy for their sessions and showed TJ RECORDS’ skill in creating lasting music. Compared to other riddims from 2010, Mood Swing Riddim offered both style and staying power.
