SWAHILI RIDDIM produced by SHANTI SOUNDS & FAR EAST ENTERTAINMENT 2013
Swahili Overview
The selector’s mix of Swahili Riddim first appeared in sound system sets in Jamaica in early 2013. This mix quickly became a favorite at dancehall events and was a key track at sound clashes, where heavy bass and sharp rhythms matter most. The sound system cut kept the party moving and was known for making speakers rumble wherever it played. Ancient Kush brought energy to the riddim with “Tell Dem,” a track that stood out for its confident delivery. Daggie’s “Give Thanx” added a positive vibe, reflecting the gratitude often heard in dancehall lyrics. Nelly Nell’s “Haliday” offered a catchy hook and became a go-to tune for selectors looking to hype up the crowd. Gilloh delivered “Haters,” bringing a message about overcoming obstacles, while Dandy Place teamed up with Press for “International Love,” adding a touch of collaboration to the lineup. Daggie is known for his work in the dancehall scene and has appeared on several popular riddims. Press, featured on “International Love,” has built a reputation for dynamic performances in both studio recordings and live shows. The bashment arranger played an important role, keeping the energy high and the tracks flowing smoothly together. Behind the scenes, SHANTI SOUNDS and FAR EAST ENTERTAINMENT shaped the sound.
