Quarter Mile Overview
In 2013, dancehall music was moving fast, with new sounds coming from Jamaica’s studios. One riddim that made a big impact that year was the Quarter Mile Riddim. It gave selectors fresh tracks to energize dancehall nights. The project came from DOWNSOUND RECORDS, a label known for shaping the modern dancehall scene. DOWNSOUND, led by producer Josef Bogdanovich, has worked with many top artists and helped push dancehall to new audiences. Quarter Mile Riddim stood out because of its strong singjay style and catchy beat. Konshens, a key voice in dancehall, delivered his track “Weak I” on this riddim. Konshens is known worldwide, with hits like “Gal a Bubble” and his album “Mental Maintenance” topping reggae charts in Japan. Darrio added his own energy to the mix with “Gwaan.” Darrio is recognized for his versatile style and collaborations with other dancehall stars. Delus, who was the brother of Konshens, brought a smooth flow to “Addicted.” Delus had built a reputation in the industry with tracks like “What Tomorrow May Bring.” Motion completed the set with “Live Blanket,” showing the riddim’s range and appeal. This selector’s mix proved the strength of yard studios in 2013. Quarter Mile Riddim became a favorite for DJs, keeping dance floors moving and showing the creativity of Jamaican producers and artists. It remains a highlight from a big year in dancehall.
