TUN IT UP RIDDIM produced by KESTA RECORDS 2013
Tun It Up Overview
In 2013, reggae music was exploring new sounds, but the roots instrumental stayed important. The "Tun It Up Riddim" is a great example from that year. The riddim uses classic reggae rhythms and warm island vibes, showing that roots reggae still had a strong place in modern music. The arrangement of the riddim brings together smooth basslines and gentle percussion, creating a peaceful energy. The arranger’s work helps each artist shine, giving space for both vocals and melody. This careful approach shows respect for reggae traditions while keeping the music fresh. KESTA RECORDS produced this project. The label is known for supporting reggae and dancehall artists, and for releasing music that keeps the reggae spirit alive. KESTA RECORDS has a history of working with both new and established talent, helping to spread reggae music to wider audiences. The artists on "Tun It Up Riddim" each bring their own style. Charmaine John Feat Treasure Don deliver "I Love What You Feeling," blending strong vocals with catchy hooks. Treasure Don appears again with "One More Time," adding his signature energy. Kemmikal’s "Any Party" is a lively track that fits well with his reputation for danceable music. Patrick Walker brings emotion to "Killin Me," while Paashot’s "Love My Flag" stands out with its patriotic theme. This release is remembered as one of the moments when reggae’s roots foundation was celebrated in 2013. Each artist and song shows how the genre can stay true to its origins while still feeling fresh and exciting.
