TRUE RIDDIM produced by HOUSE OF LEEDS PRODUCTIONS 2013
True Overview
In 2013, a reggae track base called True Riddim was created to honor the roots sound of classic reggae. The journey began in the studio, where musicians focused on warm basslines and steady drum rhythms. The goal was to capture the spirit of reggae from earlier decades, but with a fresh energy for the new generation. The producer behind this project was HOUSE OF LEEDS PRODUCTIONS. Known for their commitment to authentic reggae, the label has worked on several roots and culture releases. Their productions have gained respect in reggae circles for keeping the music true to its origins. A key part of the process was the dub engineer, who shaped the riddim’s sound by adding echo, reverb, and other effects. This gave the track base a deep, earthy feel that stands out on any sound system. Once the riddim was ready, a group of talented artists recorded their own songs over the instrumental. Atta Klaps delivered “Love You Only,” giving the riddim a heartfelt touch. Droop Lion, known for his powerful voice and the hit “Freeway,” brought depth with “My Soul.” Duane Stephenson, who reached international audiences with his album “August Town,” added “In The City.” Flaire contributed “Hold Me,” and Iyahblazze recorded “No Letting Go.” Each artist brought their own style, but the riddim tied everything together. When True Riddim was released, it kept reggae’s roots alive in 2013, reminding fans of the music’s timeless power.
