Pon De Floor Riddim – Downtown Music

Downtown Music’s 2010 Pon De Floor Riddim sits right in that moment when Major Lazer’s “Pon De Floor” was already ricocheting through dancehall and beyond, and the Jamaican versions give it a harder local push. Busy Signal gets two cuts here, with “Pon Me” the sharpest of the bunch, while Elephant Man’s “Right Now” keeps the energy up on a track list that also runs through Stein, Vybz Kartel, Princess Nyah, Razz and Biggy. The set leans on versions too, with two riddim takes tucked in alongside clean and remix cuts, so it plays like a proper working dancehall package rather than a simple singles run. In total there are 12 tracks and 10 unique artists on the riddim.
