Old Mug Riddim – Boomarang

OLD MUG RIDDIM produced by BOOMARANG 1995

Old Mug Overview

In 1995, the Old Mug Riddim brought a special sound to late-night dancehall parties. The producer behind this project, BOOMARANG, was known for creating tracks that selectors loved to play. BOOMARANG worked with labels in Jamaica, and his productions often reached dancehall fans far beyond the island. The sound engineer paid close attention to the mix, using analog equipment to give the riddim a deep, punchy bass and sharp snares. This careful recording process helped the songs stand out in any sound system session. The artists on this compilation each brought their own energy. Frisco Kid’s “Dis Rasta Youth” showed his strong voice and unique style. Frisco Kid is also known for his later hit “Gal Pon De Side,” which made him a regular name in dancehall. General B’s “Draw Card” added a playful vibe, matching his reputation as a member of the popular group Monster Shack Crew. Powerman’s “Buff Bay” gave the riddim a tough, confident edge. Version’s “Old Mug” let selectors run the pure instrumental, a favorite move at parties to keep the crowd moving. Wickerman’s “Almighty God” closed the set with his rough vocal delivery. These tracks shaped the sound of 1995’s dancehall parties. Selectors chose them for their energy and the way each artist’s style fit the riddim. The Old Mug Riddim still reminds fans of those unforgettable nights.
