Summer Dance Overview
Base X Music is the label behind the Summer Dance Riddim, a dancehall set that quickly became a favorite in bashment circles after its release in 2013. This project brought a fresh energy to the genre, offering a bright and lively sound that stood out among other riddims at the time. The man behind the production is Zephy Oldies, a talented producer originally from Malawi who is now based in Johannesburg (JHB), South Africa. Zephy Oldies is known for blending different influences into his music, and with Base X Music, he has helped shine a light on dancehall from a unique perspective. His work on the Summer Dance Riddim shows his skill in arranging and producing tracks that keep listeners coming back for more. Zephy Oldies has built a reputation for crisp, modern beats mixed with classic dancehall vibes, and his projects often gain attention both in Africa and internationally. With its energetic rhythm and catchy hooks, the Summer Dance Riddim became a yard anthem shortly after it dropped. Bashment selectors and fans loved the way the riddim kept parties moving, and its popularity spread quickly from local dances to international dancehall scenes. Even today, when you play the Summer Dance Riddim, it brings back the spirit of 2013. The riddim’s vibrant sound and infectious groove remind reggae fans of a time when dancehall was pushing new boundaries while still keeping its roots strong. If you’re a true reggae lover, this is one riddim you’ll always remember.
