Water Storm Riddim – Shak Wave Productions

Dusty heat. Shak Wave Productions pulled together 16 cuts on Water Storm Riddim in early 2012, and the lineup has that raw-yard energy you’d expect from a busy dancehall juggling act: Tony Matterhorn’s “Wah Dem A Try, ” Predator’s “Dem Dash Mi Weh, ” Kibaki’s “Have Gal All Over, ” and Bridgez’s “Hot It Up” all circle the same brisk, 100-BPM pulse. The sequencing keeps the pace tight, with a couple of repeat voices — Black Berry and Gallon I both return — so it feels more like a proper street compilation than a one-off showcase. Kibaki’s cut got the clearest push, and the whole set was issued by Shak Wave Productions on February 1, 2012.
