Who Done It Riddim – Studio One

Studio One’s Who Done It riddim sits in that late-80s-to-turn-of-the-millennium stretch where Coxsone Dodd’s catalogue kept resurfacing through fresh cuts and dubwise updates, and this one leans into a lean, ringing groove with enough space for the singers to phrase around it. Frankie Paul’s “Roll River Jordan” brings the first real lift, Sanchez cools it down on “Sip My Chalice, ” and Tony Curtis closes the vocal side with “Stronger, ” while Tonto Irie and Tippa Lee and Rappa Robert keep the deejay energy bubbling. Jackie Mittoo’s original “Who Done It” sits at the centre of it all, with Joe Gibbs and the Professionals’ “Universal Dub” pushing the rhythm deeper into echo and weight before the set lands on that final Curtis cut.
