Speed And Full Moon Overview
In the early 2000s, dancehall selectors played a key role in shaping the sound of Jamaican parties and radio. Their choices often set the tone for what became popular across the island and even overseas. One standout collection from this time was built on the Speed And Full Moon riddim, a production that brought together both established and rising stars. The riddim’s catchy melodies and strong rhythms made it a favorite for selectors looking to energize the crowd. Behind the scenes, the studio craftsman carefully designed the sound to balance modern energy with the classic dancehall vibe. The riddim’s structure allowed each artist to bring their own style, while keeping the music accessible for a wide audience. This careful attention to detail helped the riddim stand out in a busy era for dancehall. Several artists found new success through this collection. Assasin made a strong impression with “To Make Money” and “You Young,” showing his lyrical skill and fresh approach. Beenie Man’s “Peace Rag” added his signature flair, while Bounty Killer’s “Elevate” brought a commanding presence. Capleton’s “Uprising” delivered powerful energy, and Christopher’s “Eyes On Me” showed the softer side of the riddim. Other tracks, such as Elephant Man & Danny English’s “Nuh Right,” Elephant Man’s “Beetle Juice” and “E-L-E-P-H-A-N-T,” and Harry Toddler’s “This Time,” added even more variety. Each artist contributed to the riddim’s lasting appeal.
