Pac Man Riddim – Kathmandu

PAC MAN RIDDIM produced by KATHMANDU 2016

Pac Man Overview

In 2016, the Pac Man Riddim brought a fresh but classic sound to reggae. The riddim used a strong one drop base, which is a drum pattern that gives reggae its steady, deep groove. This style helped connect modern artists with the roots of reggae, making it stand out from other riddims of the same year that often mixed in more electronic or dancehall elements. The Pac Man Riddim featured artists like Danny Ranks, who is known for the song "Rod of Correction." Ring Ding, with his track "Grosse Fresse," also brought energy and a classic reggae flow. Fitta Warri’s "Topsy Turvy" added more roots flavor. Jamie Irie, featured with "Kindness for Weakness," is recognized for his hit "Words Can Be So Simple," which even charted in the UK reggae scene. Kinetical and Ruffian Rugged teamed up on "Innocent Graves," showing how the riddim could support both solo and collaborative efforts. Other artists on the riddim included Little Pepe with "Una Como Tu," Lukascher with "Haund in Haund," Natural Black with "Red Eye Dude," and Perfect Giddimani with "Smoke Billy." Each brought their own style, but all kept the roots feeling alive. The producer, KATHMANDU, played a key role in shaping the sound. Known for working with the Bassrunner label, KATHMANDU has produced several reggae and dancehall projects that have reached wide audiences, especially in Europe. The roots selector’s role was also important, choosing tracks and artists that fit the deep, rootsy vibe.
