New Tactics produced by Hugh James for Redman International in 1987
New Tactics Riddim – Redman International is a 1987 Hugh James production for the Redman International label, pairing three vocal cuts from Admiral Tibet, Horace Martin, and Red Dragon. The line-up is compact rather than crowded, with Admiral Tibet’s New Tactics, Horace Martin’s Geow Now, and Red Dragon’s Ease Off all riding the same late-80s dancehall framework. Redman’s catalog from this period is closely tied to the rise of digital-era Jamaican production, and this one carries that crisp, stripped-back sound with plenty of space for the singers to cut through. It’s a small but tidy selection that leans on strong voices and a lean, forward-driving groove.
New Tactics Tracklist:
- Admiral Tibet – New Tactics
