STREET BOMB RIDDIM produced by MARCUS RECORDS 2012
Street Bomb Overview
In 2012, the Street Bomb Riddim shook up dancehall sound system culture with its powerful energy and deep basslines. This riddim quickly became a favorite among selectors, filling dance floors and outdoor sessions across Jamaica and beyond. The heavy, driving beat was perfect for the big speakers and open air of sound system events, where the music’s force could be felt in the chest as much as heard in the ears. Behind the scenes, the sound engineer played a crucial role, making sure every element of the riddim sounded crisp and clear. The engineer balanced the thumping bass with sharp snares and lively vocals, so each track hit hard without losing clarity. This attention to detail helped the riddim stand out during clashes and late-night parties. MARCUS RECORDS produced the Street Bomb Riddim, adding another strong entry to their catalog. Known for their work in the dancehall industry, MARCUS RECORDS has built a reputation for quality and consistency. Their productions often get high streams and are respected by DJs and artists alike.

The set also featured “When Bwoi A Chat” by Marcus and “Deatch From The Red Planet” by Tony Matterhorn, rounding out the lineup.
