WHO DONE IT RIDDIM produced by STUDIO ONE 1986-2000
Who Done It Overview
The one drop base was a key part of reggae music in 2006. This drum pattern gave songs a deep, steady groove that was easy to recognize. Many reggae artists used the one drop to keep their music rooted in tradition, even as new styles appeared. On the “Who Done It Riddim,” the one drop base stands out and carries the spirit of 2006 reggae. Compared to other riddims from that time, the one drop on this release feels more relaxed and organic. For example, Frankie Paul’s “Roll River Jordan” uses the one drop to create a smooth, flowing sound. Jackie Mittoo’s “Who Done It” also rides this groove, showing his skill as a keyboard player who helped shape reggae’s sound. Joe Gibbs And The Professionals bring their classic touch to “Universal Dub,” a track that highlights their experience in reggae and dub production. Sanchez shines on “Sip My Chalice,” using the strong base to support his soulful voice. Shorty The President’s “No Peace” adds a unique DJ style over the riddim, bringing energy and personality. The studio hand played an important role, making sure each track kept its natural feel. STUDIO ONE, the producer, is known as one of Jamaica’s most important record labels. It helped launch the careers of many reggae legends and is often called the “Motown of Jamaica.” The one drop base on this riddim still captures the lively and joyful spirit of reggae in 2006.
