WORM AKA WHEN RIDDIM produced by STEELIE & CLEVIE RECORDS 1991

Worm Aka When Overview

In 1991, the Worm Aka When Riddim changed the sound of dancehall parties. This riddim was built by STEELIE and CLEVIE RECORDS, a duo known for shaping digital dancehall. Their label helped create some of the most important rhythms in Jamaican music, and the Worm Riddim Version is a classic example of their work. At the heart of this bashment flow are artists like Blacka Ranks, who gave the scene the memorable tune Name Brand. Captain Barkey’s tracks, Original Get & No Chat, brought a raw energy to the dance. Culture T added more fire with Trigger Happy, a song that matched the riddim’s quick pace. Johnny P And Lady P teamed up for Nothing Nah Gwan Fi Yu, showing how male and female voices could blend perfectly on the same beat. Pennie Irie’s Gun Hawk also stood out with its catchy delivery. Compared to other selectors’ mixes of the early ‘90s, this set moved the crowd with a tight, digital sound. Many selectors played a mix of reggae and dancehall, but the Worm Aka When Riddim kept the dance pure bashment, letting each artist shine. The riddim’s architects, STEELIE and CLEVIE RECORDS, made sure every version hit hard, keeping the flow steady all night. Songs like Tiger’s When and Wickerman’s Worm also rode this rhythm, making each party unforgettable. The bashment flow from 1991 still echoes today, reminding fans of a golden era in dancehall music.
