Pan Jam – Various Artists

Pan Jam – Various Artists is a 2000 reggae compilation built around the Pan Jam riddim and packed with a lively cross-section of dancehall voices, including Admiral Bailey, General Degree, Avenger, Chappa Jan, Daddy Rasta, and Dj Black. General Degree’s Keep Going is one of the better-known cuts here, alongside Admiral Bailey’s Bailey Diddle and Avenger’s Drive Me Crazy, while the set also leans into Spanish-language selections like Daddy Rasta’s Chicas Preocupadas and Kathy’s Advertencia. The lineup gives the riddim a distinctly international feel, with multiple artists working the same groove in different styles and languages, which keeps the project moving with plenty of variety.
