PURE RIDDIMS VOL 1 2011
Pure Overview
In 2011, a new dancehall riddim emerged that quickly became a staple in bashment sets across Jamaica and beyond. The journey of this sound system cut began in the studio, where the bashment arranger brought together a mix of classic dancehall energy and fresh, vibrant beats. Each detail was carefully crafted to keep the dancefloor moving, capturing the true spirit of yard music. The riddim's foundation was laid by a producer known for capturing the pulse of the dancehall scene. With years of experience and a deep respect for the genre’s roots, the producer worked closely with the arranger to shape a sound that was both modern and timeless. A lineup of talented artists brought the riddim to life. Banton delivered two standout tracks: "Life Gaurd" and "Sines Ah Di End." Known for his earlier hit "No More" with Buju Banton, Banton’s voice added depth and authenticity. David Irie, a respected name in reggae, offered the uplifting "Come In A Di Church." Dj Grace’s "Thanks And Praises" added a spiritual touch, while Gyamma’s "Meditation" brought a reflective mood. Jason O'Neil’s "Night And Day" rounded out the set with smooth vocals and catchy lyrics. Heard at parties and on radio, this release became a true yard classic, showing the power of collaboration and the enduring appeal of good dancehall music.
