Wireless Riddim – Digital One Records

Digital One Records was usually associated with Richard Roache’s later, more roots-leaning work, so Wireless lands as a straight-up 2003 dancehall set with a tougher, busier edge. Beenie Man’s “Problem Wid It” and Anthony B’s “Fun Time” sit right in the middle of a strong lineup that also runs through Delly Ranks, General B, Harry Toddler and Hawkeye, while the cut on the beat is all clipped drums, rattling synth lines and that slightly metallic bounce that keeps the energy moving without ever getting glossy. Delly Ranks gets two passes here, including the Mega Banton combination on “Nah Par Wid You, ” and the riddim closes with the version cut itself, “Wireless, ” plus the 14-track lineup also folds in Amin Brasco, Determine, Kananga, Shadu, Xsytement and Zahire.
