Time Code Riddim – Mainsource Muzik

A gritty, mid-tempo dancehall pulse runs through Time Code Riddim, with a dry, digital edge that leaves plenty of room for the vocals to cut through. Mainsource Muzik keeps the arrangement lean and focused, and Determine’s “Emotional” feels like the emotional center of the set, sitting nicely beside Voicemail’s more playful “Show It Off” and Stacious on “Naked. ” The mix of names leans from tougher street talk on Rp’s “Outta Di Ghetto” to the more reflective turn from Tydal and Neil Amos, which gives the riddim a little more range than your average one-drop dancehall package. It’s a seven-track set from 2012, and that final Mainsource Muzik instrumental closes it out with a clean, no-frills stamp.
