The Repeat Riddim produced by Philadub Records 2010
The Repeat Overview
In 2010, the Repeat Riddim brought a fresh reggae sound, shaped by the influence of classic rocksteady. The riddim’s smooth flow and steady beat made it a favorite in roots reggae sets that year. At the center of this project was Philadub Records, a label known for its focus on roots and conscious reggae. Philadub Records has been active since the late 2000s, often working with both established and rising artists in the reggae scene. The sound architect behind Repeat Riddim paid close attention to crisp textures and live instrumentation. The recording process aimed to capture the warmth of analog reggae, blending it with modern clarity. This gave the riddim a timeless yet fresh feel. Each artist added their own touch to the rocksteady-inspired base. Anthony B, with his song "Rasta Livity," brought his powerful voice and message. Anthony B is well known for his hit "Fire Pon Rome" and is respected for his socially conscious lyrics. Gardian’s "Broken Hearted" added emotional depth, while Lukie D’s "My Type" showcased his smooth vocal style. Lukie D is recognized for his work as part of the group L.U.S.T. and for his solo career. Lutan Fyah delivered "Show Me Some Love," staying true to his roots reggae style. Skilli Bangs contributed "As A Rastaman," bringing energy and authenticity. The compilation also included Spectacular’s "Hotta Than Lava" and a version track, "The Repeat Riddim." Together, these songs kept the rocksteady spirit alive in 2010’s reggae scene.
