Zip Overview

The Zip Riddim dub cut stands out as a strong roots reggae project from 2010. At the center is producer Holy House, who is known for his work with the Holy House label. He has a reputation for keeping reggae’s classic sound alive while still bringing a fresh touch to his productions. His careful arranging and mixing in the studio give the riddim a warm, cohesive feel that ties all the tracks together. The recording process for the dub cut focused on live instruments and a solid rhythm section. This gave singers and deejays a strong foundation to build their songs on. The riddim’s steady pulse and deep basslines create a true roots atmosphere. Five artists brought their own style to the dub cut. Kerry John’s “Love Forever” delivers smooth vocals and heartfelt lyrics, showing his talent for romantic reggae. Makamillion’s “Daddy Please” stands out with its emotional plea and catchy hook. Makamillion is also known for his work on the hit single “Gyal Dem Wine,” which helped to raise his profile in the Caribbean music scene. Musique’s “Stay A While” adds a gentle, melodic touch, while Orlando Octave’s “Hustle” brings energy and determination. Orlando Octave is a Trinidadian artist who gained attention with the song “Single,” a track that charted in Trinidad and Tobago. Pilot’s “Secret Love Affair” brings a story of hidden romance, rounding out the set with a sense of mystery.
