Ooh Baby Riddim – Necessary Mayhem

Ooh Baby Riddim finds Necessary Mayhem leaning into a mellow, lovers-rock mood with a clean 138-bpm glide that keeps the groove warm rather than hurried. Shola Ama’s “Puppy Love” is the centrepiece here, all silky phrasing and old-school sweetness, while Maxi Priest’s “Easy Now” brings that familiar crossover polish without breaking the mood. Lea Anna’s “Gave My Love Away” and Massicker’s “Love Like This” keep the set in the same tender pocket, and Machaco’s “Rock to the Beat” adds a slightly tougher edge before the reprise. The 2018 digital set runs six cuts in under 20 minutes, closing with the Shola Ama and Christopher Ellis remix of “Puppy Love, ” which gives the riddim a neat second wind.
