YA HOO RIDDIM produced by HARMONY HOUSE CREW 1999
Ya Hoo Overview
In 1999, reggae fans got a new roots anthology that stood out in the scene. The collection was built on the Ya Hoo Riddim, produced by Harmony House Crew. Known for shaping modern reggae, Harmony House Crew is the production team behind Beres Hammond’s Harmony House label, which has released many classic reggae albums. Their track, Harmony House Crew — Ya Hoo Version, sets the foundation with a deep roots sound, but also blends in hints of soul and dancehall, making the riddim feel both classic and fresh. The song Louie Culture And Anthony Sela — Ya Hoo brings strong vocals and smooth harmonies. Louie Culture is well known for his hit “Gangalee,” which made big waves in the 1990s. Here, he works with Anthony Sela to create a catchy, melodic tune that fits perfectly on the riddim. Nicola Tucker — Back To The Beginning adds another layer, bringing a softer, reflective voice to the anthology. The arranger’s role was key in balancing the roots reggae style with touches from other genres. The warm sound of vinyl is clear across all tracks, giving the music a timeless feel. In 1999, these songs became favorites on reggae playlists, showing how roots reggae could blend with new styles while keeping its heart.
