Poco And Rum Riddim – Riva Nile Productions

Riva Nile Productions drops Poco And Rum in the middle of its 2014 dancehall run, and the riddim has that lively, slightly busy feel that comes from a tight stack of synths rather than a stripped-back groove. General Degree’s “Bay Pretty Gyal In Yah” gives the set an early hook, while Delly Ranx and Chedda keep the momentum moving with cuts that sit neatly on the same uptempo bounce; Mr Traffic and Kool Shades round it out without crowding the rhythm. The instrumental runs just under two and a half minutes, and the full set keeps the count lean at five songs, which gives the compilation a quick, no-nonsense shape and leaves the pocket for each vocalist to work the beat.
