WWW,
December 2007 - "Old Riddim, New
Roots" gives us an insight into the way
Reggae Riddims are taken from one generation
into the next and things are added with each
new style.
Even though
fortunately new riddims come into existence
almost every day, the old ones are revamped
with each new generation of Reggae Music as
well.
This is
done in a wide variety of ways, some
technically and some instrumentally. One
might sample a loop and base a whole new
tune on just that one loop, others will
re-do the old riddim and yet there is a
third group that will do even other things.
This
episode of the "PotCast" (No Typo
there) gives us a wonderful example of such
new skool recordings.
We're
introduced to a wide variety of styles and
sounds, which in itself is rather
interesting because many seem to think that
contemporary Reggae all sounds the same
because of the digital technology that is
incorporated.
Heavy
Skanking!
