Pangolin Riddim produced by Jay Records 2023
Pangolin Overview
If you love roots reggae, you probably know the impact of the Pangolin Riddim compilation from 2023. This project quickly became a favorite in roots sessions, thanks to its warm sound and strong lineup. The riddim brought together artists like Viddiex Fyah, Xross Fyah, Family Roots, Sir Spark, and Sithe, who each added their own flavor. Viddiex Fyah’s "Dweet Again" stands out for its energy, and fans may remember Viddiex Fyah for his consistent presence in the Malawian reggae scene. Xross Fyah delivers "Usaweruze," a track that highlights his unique vocal style. Family Roots brings "Ndikudalile," adding depth with their roots harmony. Sir Spark’s "Millionaire Dream" (produced by Elder Kim & Jay Crazy) is another highlight; Sir Spark is known for his collaborations with other Malawian reggae artists. Sithe’s "Mzeru Zaumunthu" rounds out the set with thoughtful lyrics. The dub cut on Pangolin Riddim sets it apart from many other 2023 compilations. While some projects of the era leaned heavily on digital effects, Pangolin Riddim’s dub version keeps things organic, with deep bass and echo that feel true to classic roots reggae. This approach helped it stand out among the more polished, electronic dubs of the time. Producer Jay Records played a key role in shaping the sound. Known for working with conscious artists and helping to push Malawian reggae onto streaming platforms, Jay Records made sure each track felt both classic and fresh. Overall, Pangolin Riddim captured the true spirit of 2023 roots reggae, and its dub cut still gets played in sessions today.
