Summer Skies Riddim – Kimichi / Sortout Records

Summer heat. Kimichi and Sortout Records keep the Summer Skies Riddim moving in a lean, vocal-driven dancehall style, with seven cuts and a bare instrumental tucked in for selectors. Dane Ray’s “Nuh Trust Friend” sets the tone with that wary street edge, while Faithfull’s “Get Girl” and Gaza Maxwell’s “Dweet Fi The Summer” push the riddim into more playful, party-ready territory. Mario Doriani and Sparkle Rose keep the sequence bright and melodic, but it’s Tamoy’s “Feeling Fine” that leaves the cleanest aftertaste, riding the rhythm with an easy hook that feels made for warm-weather rotations. This one came through in 2012, and the lineup keeps the focus tight enough that the riddim itself stays front and center.
