VESSEL RIDDIM produced by GUSSIE P RECORDS 2018
Vessel Overview
In 2018, the Vessel Riddim offered a fresh take on roots reggae. This collection showed how reggae can blend with other genres, like dub and jazz, while still keeping its original spirit. The music has a rich, deep sound, with layers that make each track feel new every time you listen. Trevor Junior’s song, "Two Ends Meet," stands out with his smooth vocals and steady delivery. Trevor Junior is known for his work in the roots reggae scene, and he brings experience and warmth to this track. Jahkey All Stars add their own touch with "The Vessel Dub," "Holy Vessel Dub," and "Crankey Vessel." Their songs use dub effects, echo, and reverb, giving the riddim a dreamy, spacious feel. Jahkey All Stars are respected for their skill in live dub mixing, which adds energy and creativity to the release. Don Fe’s "Empress Menen Melody" brings in a touch of jazz with flute melodies. Don Fe is a well-known flautist and producer in the UK reggae and dub world. His music often mixes jazz and reggae, making his track a highlight on the riddim. The arranger’s work is important here. The way each instrument is placed in the mix helps the songs flow together but also lets each artist shine. GUSSIE P RECORDS produced the riddim. This London-based label, led by Gussie P, has been active since the 1980s and is known for strong UK roots and dub releases.
