Tek A Train Riddim – Teka Productions

Tek A Train Riddim produced by Teka Productions 2009

Anthony B’s “Love Dont Get Better” is the anchor here, but Tek A Train Riddim makes more sense as a cross-border session than a star vehicle, with Ziggi, Cali P, Jaqee and the German-language cuts from Nosliw, Mono Nikitaman, D-Flame and Maxim all pulling the same laid-back one-drop direction. The groove has that warm, late-2000s European reggae feel Teka Productions was carving out around the same period: polished, bassy and a little more conscious than party riddims, with “Take The Train” and “Was Ich Mein” sitting especially nicely against the dubby instrumental version. There’s a fair bit of multilingual flavor across the set, from Spanish to German, which gives the release its character without ever losing the reggae core. In Teka’s catalogue, this sits neatly alongside the label’s more roots-leaning, scene-spanning compilations.
