Reggae Archives Riddim – Sgk Records

Back in 2012, when reggae compilations were still leaning hard on rootsy grooves and artist-driven riddim showcases, SGK Records lined up a tidy 12-cut set around Reggae Archives Riddim. The package opens with a dub version before moving into voices like Flo on “How Do You Feel, ” Boneman on “When A Man Loves, ” and Benny B closing things out with “Uptown Girl, ” which gives the sequence a loose, showcase-style flow rather than a straight hit parade. SGK keeps the title track as a dub cut, then threads in a run of Zimbabwean-leaning vocals and easygoing lovers material, so the whole thing feels like a producer using one rhythm to hold together different moods without breaking the head-nod pace.
