Star Trek Riddim (2009) – Shady Hill Records

Deep cut. Shady Hill Records’ Star Trek Riddim from 2009 keeps the cast lean with four vocal cuts and a version, so the emphasis stays on the rhythm rather than a crowded showcase. Alex Frass opens with “Mek It, ” Ikaya brings the cleaner, more clipped “Clean Up, ” and Natalie Storm’s “A Your Man” adds a tougher edge before Rage’s “Phone Lost” closes the vocal run. That sequencing gives the set a neat arc, with the instrumental version tucked in at the end to let the riddim breathe on its own. Ikaya is the name that tends to grab the eye here, and the whole plate sits squarely in that compact late-2000s dancehall tradition. Star Trek Riddim is credited to Shady Hill Records and lists five tracks in all.
