TIME MACHINE RIDDIM produced by JA PRODUCTIONS 2018
Time Machine Overview
Sound system culture has always been at the heart of dancehall music. In 2018, a new dancehall set reminded fans of that raw energy. The Time Machine Riddim, produced by JA PRODUCTIONS, brought together both established and rising artists. JA PRODUCTIONS, known for their work on some of dancehall’s biggest tracks, made sure this riddim was ready for both local parties and international listeners. The sound engineer played a key part in shaping the music’s impact. By carefully balancing the heavy bass, sharp snares, and clear vocals, the engineer made each song come alive on big speakers. This attention to detail is what makes a dancehall set memorable in sound system sessions, where every beat needs to hit hard. The artists on this set each brought their own style. Ding Dong’s “Vybez” was made for the dancefloor, full of movement and crowd response. Shenseea, with “Tie Me Up,” showed her confident delivery and catchy hooks. Teejay’s “My Type” added a smooth, melodic flow, while Christopher Martin’s “Dweet” offered a soulful touch. King Ko$A’s “Same Energy” kept the momentum strong with his unique voice. Jahmiel’s “Feel Like Party” captured the festive spirit, and 12 Gauge’s “Hard Fi Deal Wid” brought a gritty edge. Moyann’s “Quite Alright” rounded out the set with a fresh, youthful vibe. Each track played its role in keeping the dancehall tradition alive. This dancehall set remains an important part of dancehall history, celebrated in sound system culture and beyond. Its energy and production still inspire DJs and fans today.
