Dancehall fire from the UK and around the world

Piano Riddim

Our very first riddim, which has now been voiced by Riko Dan, Warrior Queen and Rubi Dan. The Warrior Queen version was featured on our Soul Jazz compilation An England Story and released on 12" by the same label, along with the instrumental and a DJ C remix. Riko and Rubi's vocals are set to come out on our own label in April 2008.

Feedback

• "Irresistible and summery" - The Guardian
• "A colourful and danceable joy" - Simon Hampson (FACT)
• "The Piano riddim is a clean, chunky piano-driven hook which drips with subtle dubbed-delays, riding a bouncing, driving beat. The weight comes from a warping, flexing sub-bass. It's a proper good-vibes riddim, it compels smiling as much as dancing" - Joe Ruckus (C90)
• "Reminds me of an old school 80s digital riddim that Sister Nancy would verse on" - Ghetto Bassquake
• "Yes! You've just slapped my musical flavour right round the face! My favourite style of beat: the reggae bass with the dancehall/hip hop bop...heavy skanking!" - Dan (Original Phat Crowned)
