Storm Riddim – Telecom 1996

Storm Overview

The Storm Riddim was released by a label known for connecting reggae’s past with its future. This foundation rhythm came out in 1996, a year when reggae was mixing old and new sounds. The Storm Riddim brought back classic roots reggae feelings but gave them a modern touch for that time. Artists like Lukie D, M. Montaque, and T. Stephen recorded on this riddim. Lukie D is well known in reggae and lovers rock, and his song “Love Is Real” stands out on the Storm Riddim. Lukie D is also recognized for his work with the group L.U.S.T., which helped him gain wider attention in the reggae scene. M. Montaque and T. Stephen teamed up for the track “Version,” adding their own soulful touch to the project. Both songs show how the riddim could support different vocal styles while keeping the roots feeling. The sound of the Storm Riddim was shaped in the studio by an experienced hand, making sure the music stayed true to reggae’s roots while sounding fresh for 1996. The careful production gave the tracks a laidback but powerful base, letting the singers shine. The Storm Riddim is a good example of how foundation rhythms can link modern reggae tracks to the music’s deep roots, keeping the tradition alive for new generations.
