Voom Voom Riddim – Topaz Sound

Topaz Sound’s 2003 Voom Voom Riddim keeps the focus on the voices, with a compact dancehall set that runs from Ce’Cile’s cheeky Want Dat Body Deh and Mr. Vegas’ title tune to tougher cuts from Vybz Kartel, Tanya Stephens, and Ward 21. The rhythm has that lean, early-2000s dancehall snap—bouncy, digital, and made to carry lyrical attitude rather than crowding the singers. There’s also a version cut in the sequence, with Rigo and Cribe’s Voom Voom Version sitting among the vocal sides, which gives the project a proper juggling feel instead of just a stack of singles. General Levy’s Shake What Ya Mama Gave Ya and Cutty Ranks’ Hail Up keep the pressure up, while Chukki Starr’s Defend Them and T. O. K. ’s War Dem Want push it toward the rougher end of the sound. The riddim is listed with 13 tracks and 14 unique artists.
