The Kiki Kiki Riddim – Room IN The Sky

The Kiki Kiki Riddim finds Room In The Sky leaning into a loose, late-’60s-minded reggae groove, all warm horns, lilting momentum and that easygoing one-drop feel that leaves plenty of air around the singers. Released in June 2021 and produced by Lewis M, it pairs veteran voices like George Dekker, Joseph Cotton, Winston Reedy and Barry Issacs with The Inn House Crew carrying the version side. George Dekker’s “Nana” sets the tone with its old-school sweetness, while Joseph Cotton’s “Wedding Dance” and Barry Issacs’ “Wanty Wanty” keep the energy moving without crowding the riddim. The sequencing feels deliberate too: vocal cuts first, then the raw version at the end, like the producer wanted the songs to do the talking before letting the rhythm breathe on its own.
