12 Furlong
| (Ballaz Production)This tough stomping dancehall riddim features only for artists which absolutely seems to be enough for a riddim. Dancehall veteran Jr. Reid contributes one of his nowadays very rare voicings. Capleton combines the veteran an current artist in one person while Charly Blacks and D'Angel are pure contemporary artists. The mixture of artists is probably what makes this one interesting.
Go Go Club
| (Russian Productions)The latest Russian production get's decent play around the globe. Kartel delivers the titel tune and also performs along Merital family the hit tune "My Money (Ha Ha)". Other good tunes come from Demarco, Black Ryno, Konshens ...
World Premiere

It features almost every big artist (Vybz Kartel, Mavado, Serani, Bugle, Demarco, Mr. Vegas, Assassin, Stein ...) in the jamaican dancehall circus and every tune is a potential hit tune. The production distinguishes itself by clean drum sounds fine synths and the typical sound of a current jamaican dancehall production.
Boasty
| (Big Ship)Another riddim by Stephen "Di Genius" McGregor comes with the typical line up including Elephant Man, Beenie Man, Assassin and the ironic Tony Matterhorn.
Street Team
| (Fire Links)A tuff dancehall riddim with all the big-name artists on it. With a classical snare-based dancehall rhythm, a heavy bassline and scratch-like synths the riddim provides a somehow minimal but driving ground for artists like Elephant Man, Mavado, Vybz Kartel and many more.
Love Again
| (Sound With Soul)The riddim features three combinations with the best known combination duos in reggae and dancehall. None other than Chaka Demus & Pliers, Red Fox & Screechy Dan and Mr. Glamarus & Burro Banton deliver wonderful love songs with the right vibes to wine with a partner. The selection is rounded by VolkanikMan, Don Sharicon and the belgian fast chatting master deejay General Good. The riddim itself revives the old sound of the early 90ies once again and combines them with modern drum and synth sounds and thus creates a vibe for lovers of old and new dancehall likewise.
Dragon Stout
| (Fashosy Records)This catchy dancehall riddim features pop-like harmonies and a very driving rhythm line. Mr. G and Demarco deliver an excelent tune. Tony Matterhorn who seems to be back in business also stands out lyric-wise. Other tunes come from Daville, Mr. Vegas, Stacious and GC.
Tear Up Jeans
| (Loony Bin Jamaica)This relick of the 1994 corduroy riddim delivered one of the smash hits of 2008. The prerelease of Serani's "You're The One" rotated on every dance in late 2008. On the selection appeared also Konshens, Natalie Storm, Elephant Man, Bugle and many more.
Baddaz
| (Birchill)The Baddaz is another riddim in the tradition of Dave Kelly's 1996 masterpiece "Joyride". The line up contains like on most of the recent Birchill riddims Shaggy and Elephant Man who delivers one of his inevitable dancing tunes. The selection contains with Busy Signal and Assassin two of the hottest deejays at the moment, delivers some other decent tunes and thus got massive airplay so far.
Gangster Symphony
| (Music Factory)This contemporary sounding riddim is produced by Mario “ Mad Scientist” Lawrence - a young jamaican producer new to the business. The riddim features exactly the sound of today and artists like T.O.K., Mr. Easy and Mr. Glamarus have already voided it. It will probably bust very soon.
