Revelation Bus Riddim – Finland House

A steppers-leaning reggae cut with a dry, militant pulse and enough room for the vocals to ride the groove, Revelation Bus Riddim has that late-2000s one-riddim feel where the rhythm does the heavy lifting and the singers keep it rooted. The set runs 12 tracks deep, moving from Banton and Diamond D’s “Jus Be Cool” through Fireball’s “Take Time To Play, ” Khari Kill’s “Old Time Veteran, ” and Ziggy Ranking’s “High Grade, ” with the sequencing keeping the energy steady rather than flashy. Finland House handled the production in 2007, and the lineup pulls in a mix of names across the roots and cultural side, including Justin Cross, King David, and Zebulun.
