One Way Riddim (2015) – Taitu Records

One Way Riddim lines up seven vocal cuts and a handful of dub versions, which gives the set a tidy roots-compilation feel rather than a crowded juggling exercise. Taitu Records keeps the focus on heavyweight names like Johnny Clarke, Prince Alla, and Linval Thompson, with Russ D handling the dub work that threads through the sequence. The riddim sits in that deep, militant reggae pocket: patient one-drop movement, spacious drum accents, and a bassline that rolls low and steady instead of rushing the groove. The vocal tracks lean on dread themes and sturdy chant-style phrasing, while the dubs strip things back just enough to leave the echo and bass pressure doing the heavy lifting. It plays like a deliberate 2015 roots set, measured and uncluttered, with the rhythm carrying the tension all the way through the closing dub turns.
