SWEET RIDDIM (ACOUSTIC) – HAMMER MUSIK 2018
Sweet Overview
In 2018, the Sweet Riddim brought fresh energy to reggae, built on the classic one drop base. This base is a key part of reggae’s sound system culture. In dancehalls and street parties across Jamaica, the one drop rhythm gives reggae its heartbeat. It is known for its steady drum and bass pattern, creating a deep, rolling groove that keeps crowds moving. The sound architect behind Sweet Riddim carefully shaped each layer of the music. The drum and bass lines were designed to echo the warmth of vintage reggae, while adding a modern touch. This approach made the riddim both familiar and new, appealing to longtime fans and newcomers alike. The producer’s attention to detail helped each song stand out, while still feeling part of a larger whole. A strong lineup of artists added their voices to the riddim. Beres Hammond delivered two soulful tracks: “See You Again” and “Happy Heart.” Both songs highlight his smooth vocals and heartfelt lyrics. Gramps Morgan’s “One In A Million” brings a message of love and appreciation, while Freddie McGregor’s “Keep On Coming Back” shows his timeless style. Daville’s “Soldier Girl” and Duane Stephenson’s “24 Hours” add emotion and storytelling to the mix. Other artists also made their mark. Marcia Griffiths’ “When You Giving Your Heart,” Richie Stephens’ “Hey Joe,” Peetah Morgan’s “Still The Same,” and Prophecy’s “Life Without You” each add their unique touch. Together, these tracks show the lasting power of the one drop base in reggae, keeping the tradition alive for new generations.
