Room Temperature – Darshan Recordz

Darshan Recordz keeps the focus squarely on the selector’s side of dancehall here, with Room Temperature arriving in late 2014 as a compact eight-track juggling that moves quickly through voices like Laden, Munga, Deva Bratt, Navino, and Don Pree alongside Castro Troy. The sequencing is tight and functional, each cut landing in the two-and-a-half-minute range, so it feels like a proper roots-to-dancehall showcase rather than a sprawling compilation. Laden’s title tune and Munga’s “Steppingz” sit near the center of the set, while Deva Bratt’s “Sidung Fi Me” and Navino’s “Try Something” keep the energy up with the kind of sharp, street-level chat that defined the era. Released on November 4, 2014, Room Temperature Riddim runs eight songs deep and clocks in at about 20 minutes.
