Tallawah Riddim – Larger Than Life Records

By the time Larger Than Life Records got to Tallawah, the label was already settling into its own steady rhythm-game catalogue, and this 2013 set sits right in that run with a smooth, laid-back one-drop pulse that leaves plenty of space for the singers. Luciano’s “Bless My Soul” brings the most immediate lift, while Pressure Busspipe, Exco Levi, Droop Lion and Bobby Hustle keep the message rooted in uplift and perseverance, each one riding the groove with a different shade of calm authority. The production leans soft and spacious rather than heavy-handed, with the riddim version closing things out in the label’s own name. Six tracks make up the release, issued on April 9, 2013.
