Shoulder Move Riddim (2009) – Jah Thomas Records

A warm, old-school swing sits underneath this 2009 Jah Thomas Records cut, with that familiar Shoulder Move name carrying a little extra weight if you know Jah Thomas’ early-eighties original on Midnight Rock. Here the riddim comes back in a leaner, later-day form and the small lineup keeps the focus tight: Buju Banton’s “Hard Times” and “Not Goin Crazy” do the heavy lifting, while Tony Curtis, Mitch and Ghost’s “Love Songs” eases in with a smoother vocal turn. It’s a neat move from Jah Thomas, revisiting one of his signature foundations without overstuffing it, and the result sits comfortably alongside the producer’s catalog of stripped-back, dancer-friendly revivals.
