Xmas Touch Riddim – Cydefex

Cydefex’s Xmas Touch Riddim sits in that compact 2012 dancehall lane where a producer keeps the cast tight and lets the rhythm do the talking. There are only two voices across four cuts, with Sany-G and Young J each getting both clean and raw versions, and that setup gives the project a clipped, no-frills feel that suits the season-name gimmick without turning overly festive. Young J’s “Gyal Sidung” is the sharper of the pair, riding the riddim’s straight-ahead pulse with a lively, uptempo delivery, while Sany-G’s “Wine Pon It” keeps the same pressure on the dancefloor side. It’s a small Cydefex production by design: two artists, two songs, four tracks, and a concise 2012 dancehall package.
