THIRTEEN RIDDIM produced by 10 FLOOR RECORDS 2011
Thirteen Overview
The Thirteen Riddim sound system cut became a true favorite in 2011 dancehall. This version stood out from other mixes of the time because of its powerful energy and strong connection to Jamaica’s sound system culture. While many riddims in 2011 used digital beats, Thirteen Riddim mixed live horn riffs with sharp drum patterns, giving it a classic feel and a lively modern twist. 10 FLOOR RECORDS, the producer behind this riddim, is known for creative work in the dancehall scene. The label built a reputation for bringing new sounds and artists together. Their attention to detail and rich production style helped Thirteen Riddim shine. Artists on this riddim brought their own style. Don Tippa delivered two standout tracks, “Bad Mind Inna Real Life” and “Gal Dweet.” Don Tippa is well known for his energetic delivery and for working with top producers in the UK reggae scene. Eska’s “Pagans” added a deep, conscious message. Note’s “When I Rise” brought uplifting vibes. Jq’s “Haberdashery Beauty Queen” and Klarriti’s “From Wha Day” showed the riddim’s range, from playful to serious. Compared to other mixes from its era, the Thirteen Riddim sound system cut was more raw and dancefloor-focused, making it a favorite for DJs and fans.
