ORANGEMAN RIDDIM produced by ORANGE HILL 2014
Orangeman Overview
In 2014, reggae was shaped by the strong sound of the one drop base. This style gave many songs a steady, roots feeling. At the center of this was ORANGE HILL, a UK-based production team known for mixing classic reggae with modern vibes. ORANGE HILL had already made a mark with tracks like "Wine De Best" and worked with artists such as Busy Signal and Fatman Scoop. Their approach brought fresh energy to the reggae scene. On the Orangeman Riddim, each artist added their own style. Antwain’s "Wine It Slow" is a smooth track with catchy lyrics and a laid-back groove. Doctor, known for his work in UK dancehall and for the hit "Turn Up the Music" with DJ S.K.T, brings lively energy to "Turn Up." Don Andre, who later found success with his song "Tom Cruise," delivers "Show Mi Your Motion" with a playful, dance-ready feel. Lisa Mercedes, a rising UK dancehall artist, shows her talent on "Wine Again," adding a bold voice to the collection. ORANGE HILL closes the collection with "Orangeman Version," keeping the roots sound alive. In 2014, these tracks were found on many reggae playlists, showing how the one drop base and talented artists made the riddim stand out. This project is a strong piece of reggae from that year.
