WAY BACK RIDDIM produced by AKOM RECORDS 2014
Way Back Overview
If you love roots reggae, the journey of the Way Back Riddim is one you’ll want to know about. This instrumental started as a vision from the team at AKOM RECORDS, a French label known for its authentic reggae productions and collaborations with both Jamaican and European artists. Their dedication to classic reggae sounds has earned them respect in the scene and thousands of streams worldwide. The roots selector behind the project wanted a sound that would capture the spirit of foundation reggae but still feel fresh. The riddim was built with deep basslines, rolling drums, and signature horn riffs. In the studio, the musicians focused on getting every element right, from the groove to the dubby echoes. The result was an instrumental that felt both conscious and timeless. When it was time for vocals, some of reggae’s most respected voices stepped up. Konshens delivered “Let Me Go,” blending modern energy with roots tradition. Pressure brought heartfelt emotion to “Crazy Love,” while Turbulence inspired listeners with “Step Without Fear.” Jah Mason’s “Dem A Fight” carried a message of resilience, and Million Stylez teamed up with Lutan Fyah for the powerful “Revelation Time.” Other standouts include Lukie D’s “Calling,” Johnny Osbourne’s “Why,” Jah Torius’s “The System Evil,” and Jah Marnyah’s “Reach Out.” Each artist brought their own flavor, but the riddim’s roots foundation kept the project united. Since its release, this instrumental has remained a favorite for selectors and fans, standing as a key piece of reggae history.
