Step On The Gas Riddim – Fashion

Fashion’s 1985 Step On The Gas Riddim pairs a tight four-track run with a clear UK dancehall feel, featuring Peter King’s Step On The Gas (Hit The Road Don), Andrew Paul’s Who’s Gonna Make The Dance Ram, and two dub cuts. The release sits in Fashion’s mid-’80s run, when the label was pushing fast-chat and sound-system records from its London base, and this one leans into that era’s rebuilt Sleng Teng-style energy. Peter King was one of the early UK fast-chat voices, and his cut makes the strongest impression here, while Andrew Paul’s version helps underline the riddim’s hard, mechanical pulse.
