THE RETURN RIDDIM produced by MADHOUSE 2001
The Return Overview
The bashment flow is a special style in dancehall music. It is made for the dance floor, with fast beats and strong energy. In 2001, this sound was captured perfectly on the Return Riddim, produced by MADHOUSE. MADHOUSE is a well-known label in Jamaica, famous for classic dancehall releases and run by top producer Dave Kelly. The Return Riddim brought together some of the biggest names of the time. Shaggy, who had already made waves worldwide with his hit song “It Wasn’t Me,” brought his powerful voice to “We Are Jamaican.” Frankie Sly added his own style with “Me See It,” giving the riddim a sharp edge. Brian & Tony Gold, known for their smooth harmonies, delivered “My Life,” which stands out with its catchy hooks. Another key artist on the riddim is Baby Cham, who performs “Middle Finger.” Baby Cham is famous for his album “Wow... The Story,” which helped him become a dancehall star. The riddim itself was created by Dave Kelly, who also released the “Return Riddim Version” as an instrumental. Dave Kelly is respected for his work on many hit riddims and for shaping the sound of modern dancehall. Even years after its release, selectors still play the Return Riddim at dances. Its bashment flow and strong lineup keep it fresh and exciting. The collection shows how dancehall can bring people together on the dance floor, and it remains a favorite for fans and DJs alike.
