Showtime Riddim – Xtra Large Records

Showtime Riddim, released in 1997 and produced by Dave Kelly for Xtra Large Records and Madhouse, is a classic late-90s dancehall juggling built on sharp energy and a crowd-noise hook that gave it instant impact. The set pulls together some heavyweights of the era, with standout cuts from Baby Cham, Beenie Man, Bounty Killer, and Assassin helping make it one of the most talked-about riddims from that period. Cham’s run of songs is especially notable, while Bounty Killer’s multiple appearances and Beenie Man’s Hypocrite add to the release’s heavyweight feel. Dave Kelly’s production style gives the whole rhythm its tight, militant bounce, and the riddim has stayed in rotation for years as one of his best-known creations.
