SPECIAL REQUEST RIDDIM produced by XTM NATION 2023
Special Request Overview
The sound of the Special Request Riddim in 2023 owes much to the dub engineer behind the mixing board. Their skill in shaping the bass and echo effects helped create a deep, rootsy vibe that reggae fans appreciate. A strong dub mix can turn a riddim into a lasting memory, and this release is a good example. The project was produced by XTM NATION, a label known for its work in modern roots reggae. XTM NATION was founded by Philip “Fatis” Burrell, who played a key role in bringing artists like Sizzla and Luciano to wider audiences. Today, the label continues to produce music that honors classic reggae while reaching new listeners. On this riddim, Morgan Heritage delivers “Just A Number.” The group is famous worldwide, with a Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album in 2016 for “Strictly Roots.” Their song here brings their signature harmony and message to the project. D’yani’s “Live A Little” adds a fresh voice. D’yani has gained attention in recent years for songs like “Feelings,” which became a hit in Jamaica and among reggae fans abroad. MediSun’s “Take You Home” keeps the roots energy strong, with a smooth delivery that fits the riddim’s heavy bass. Nvt3l & Natel join together for “Island In The Sea,” offering a lighter, melodic touch. Natel is known for his collaborations with other reggae and dancehall artists, and his presence here helps round out the release. Fans still return to this dub cut as a roots highlight from 2023.
