Neither of these tracks attempts to hide its origins and, in fact, both of them even go so far as to use the same chorus as the original, nearly verbatim.

In the case of the former, you have Bruce Hornsby’s soft rock hit, The Way It Is and when it comes to the latter, there’s no mistaking the pensive, introspective guitar riff from Every Breath You Take by The Police. Something these two tracks have in common is that they are both based entirely on successful tracks by other artists. If you had a pulse during the 90’s, chances are you heard 2Pac’s “Changes” and “I’ll Be Missing You” by Puff Daddy.

SELECTA! RUN DE RIDDIM!ĭominican youths dance at a dembow contest Dancehall Reggae Dembow Getting to Know Youtube So after that stroll down reggae’s memory lane, where does Secreto’s deejay take us next? Well, from 3:15 to 3:25 we hear the unmistakable verve and swagger of Dr Dre & Snoop Dogg’s Deep Cover. If Nancy’s vocal melody sounds familiar, but you just can’t place it, it may be because you remember hearing it in Lauryn Hill’s track, Lost Ones. While Nancy’s inspiration is clearly the 1966 Maytals & Byron Lee & Dragonaires track by the same name, the riddim she sings over in her version is actually the Stalag Riddim discussed in the DJ Ripley video featured in Saturday’s post. In contrast to Demus’ chauvinistic admonishment of “corrupt and dirty” women, the riddim’s namesake is most likely the empowered and conscious vibe of Sister Nancy‘s 1982 track, Bam Bam: The Bam Bam Riddim, while not the most widely used of its kind, is featured on at least 102 tracks according to. When Taxi Gang recorded that one, the foundation for the track was Sly & Robbie’s own Bam Bam Riddim, featured here in Murder She Wrote by Chaka Demus & Pliers:Ĭhaka Demus & Pliers – Murder She Wrote (1994) That juicy little flute riff and bassline are from none other than Santa Barbara by the legendary Sly & Robbie’s band Taxi Gang. Take, for example, this sample from 2:59 to 3:08: Devoted fans of dancehall will immediately appreciate the scattershot referential nature of tracks like Secreto’s Ponte el Chaleco. One of our favorite uses of riddims to emerge in the last decade has been in the nascent Dominican genre of music known as Dembow. In our latest piece to promote this month’s Getting to Know You(Tube) event, we discussed the phenomenon of the Jamaican dancehall riddim.

Over the next couple of weeks, we’ll be sharing with you his notes on the tracks that make up Summer is a State of Mind.
#OVERTIME RIDDIM VERSION PRO#
At just over 50 minutes, this mix features 17 examples of why getting a midi controller and a copy of Traktor Pro was something he couldn’t put off a second longer. We’re proud to bring you his freshmen effort, Summer is a State of Mind. Portland’s DJ Panaflex has been spinning the weirdest of mixes in his bedroom since late last year. This track, featuring the Overtime Riddim with its wistful ice cream truck melody captures Popcaan’s rebounding spirit in one of the first releases to follow the dissolution of his mentor’s Adidjahiem Records while awaiting sentencing in 2013. Normally what happens is a producer puts out a riddim, a half-dozen artists record vocals over it and the whole thing gets released as a single record with both “raw” and radio edits for DJ’s to rinse in the club and on the airwaves. Who doesn’t want to sing like Gwen Stefani? 3 years after Vybz Kartel, arguably dancehall’s central figure, got life in prison for murder, his protege, Popcaan made the unorthodox move of releasing an entire album of himself singing over unreleased instrumentals, known in Jamaica as “ riddims”.
