SHOWCASE RIDDIM produced by UIM RECORDS 2013
Showcase Overview
In 2013, dancehall music got a fresh wave of energy with the Showcase Riddim. This compilation was a big step for new artists, giving them a real chance to shine in the dancehall scene. The riddim came out on UIM RECORDS, a label known for pushing young talent and making hits that light up both local and international charts. UIM RECORDS, led by producer Anju Blaxx, has helped shape modern dancehall with their creative production style and has worked with some of the biggest names in the genre. The Showcase Riddim was made with sound system culture in mind. A “sound system cut” like this means the music is crafted for live parties, street dances, and big speaker boxes. The riddim’s heavy bass and catchy hooks were perfect for selectors and DJs to play at bashments, keeping the crowd moving all night. This is the kind of music that brings people together, right in the heart of the dance. The compilation features Black Diamon with “When We Party,” a track full of vibes and celebration. Jahmiel’s “Nothing Bout Mine” shows off his strong vocals and confidence. Laden’s “Bounce Brace” brings a playful energy, while Leftside’s “Bad Girl” adds a wild, fun side to the riddim. QQ’s “Brawl Out” is pure dancefloor fire, and Supa Hype Ft Pamputae with “Like Dat” brings extra spice. Pamputae’s solo version of “Like Dat” stands out with her bold delivery. This sound system cut is still remembered as a key part of dancehall history, launching new voices and keeping the party spirit alive.
