Mid-2000s French-Caribbean dancehall gets a sharp turn here, with Nocturne Records steering Savage Riddim through a lineup that leans hard on Admiral T, Daddy Mory, Tiwony and Yaniss Odua. It was issued in 2002 and, under another catalog name, turns up as Savage (2) Riddim, credited to Psycho (2) and Crucial L, which helps explain the project’s restless, cross-Atlantic feel. Admiral T’s “So Strong” gets doubled with a remix, and that pattern repeats through the set, so you hear the producers testing the same cut in different voices and versions. The result is less a loose compilation than a carefully sequenced stack of originals, remixes and version pieces, ending with that run of alternate takes to underline the riddim’s club-ready intent.
