Torture Riddim – Peer Pressure

TORTURE RIDDIM produced by PEER PRESSURE 2001

Torture Overview

In the early 2000s, dancehall music was moving fast, with new sounds and rhythms shaping parties and radio playlists. The bashment rhythm, known for its heavy bass and upbeat tempo, was at the center of this change. In 2001, one release stood out and helped define the sound of that year: the Torture Riddim. The person behind this track was PEER PRESSURE, a producer known for his sharp ear and steady hand in the studio. PEER PRESSURE worked with several top names in dancehall and was connected with some of the most popular labels at the time. His productions often brought together classic dancehall energy with fresh, modern sounds, helping to keep the genre moving forward. On the Torture Riddim, two artists made a big impact: Danny English and Round Head. Danny English, who is well known for his hit song "It A Go Bun Dem," brought his streetwise style to the riddim. His voice fit perfectly with the bouncy, catchy beat. Round Head also made his mark with the song "Torture," showing off his unique delivery and strong presence. Both artists helped make the riddim memorable and gave dancehall fans something new to enjoy. Even today, DJs still play tracks from this release, keeping the spirit of 2001 alive in dancehall parties around the world. The Torture Riddim remains a favorite for its mix of nostalgia and fresh sound, showing how one release can shape a whole year in music.
