El YahWeh Riddim Review

El YahWeh Riddim – Review

Various Artists: El YahWeh Riddim Review by Mr Topple for Pauzeradio.com. Train Line Records have just scored one of the strongest riddims of the year – with the lead track from none other than Dexta Daps. El YahWeh, released via Train Line Records, sees the label deliver something of sheer quality that’s highly attractive. The riddim itself is soulful yet Reggae-laced – almost classic in nature. The giveaway on this is the grand opening, with its impressive, lilting piano line – filled with rapid runs and riffs. What dominates on first listen are the chord progressions. The arrangement is predominantly
