Sweet Dancehall Riddim – Buggie Productions 2019

Bouncy and rough-edged with a lean, late-2010s dancehall feel, Sweet Dancehall Riddim keeps the energy tight over seven cuts and just about twenty minutes of music. Buggie Productions lines up Beenie Man’s “Badmind People” alongside Jah Vinci’s “Perilous Times” in both raw and clean takes, which gives the set its strongest pull, while Cee Gee, Preditor and Capital D keep the pressure up on the same rider. The riddim sits in that no-nonsense Buggie lane that was already showing up around this period, with Eric Burrell’s instrumental closing the loop instead of padding the runtime. Released on March 22, 2019, it feels like one of those compact producer pieces meant to work as a straight dancehall tool rather than a big crossover statement.
