Tun Up Overview
In 2014, the energy of dancehall was shaped by the selector’s choice at street dances across Jamaica. The right riddim could turn any night into a celebration, and that year, one sound stood out. Selectors loved the Tun Up Riddim for its driving beats and catchy hooks, making it a favorite for both crowds and DJs. Behind this riddim was the production team DARKER SHADES / DIVINE ORDER ENT. Known for their work in dancehall and reggae, the label has built a reputation for high-quality releases and has worked with several established artists. Their careful studio work on Tun Up Riddim gave the project its powerful, anthemic sound. The riddim brought together a strong lineup of artists. Da Blast delivered “Rise Again,” a song that quickly became a staple in dancehall sessions. Danish’s “Gal La La La Lis” added a playful vibe, while Ding Dong—famous for his hit “Bad Man Forward, Bad Man Pull Up”—brought the party energy with “Party Nuff.” The instrumental “Tun Up Riddim Instrumental” by Divine Order & Dark Shades showed off the riddim’s full character. Eklypse’s “Inna Mi Brain” added another layer, giving fans more to enjoy.
