DUTTY ROCK PRODUCTIONS PAYS HOMAGE TO DAVE KELLY WITH RELEASE OF DUTTY SHOWTIME FEATURING REGGAE AND DANCEHALL'S FINEST
New York, NY – November 7, 2024. Dutty Rock Productions is excited to introduce "Dutty Showtime," a contemporary rendition of the iconic Showtime Riddim originally crafted by the renowned producer Dave Kelly. This exclusive release boasts a stellar lineup of reggae and dancehall artists, comprising established chart-toppers and promising talents in the music scene.
Featuring tracks that highlight the exceptional artistry and innovation of artists such as Tarrus Riley, Buju Banton, Busy Signal, Chi Chin Ching, Charley Black, J’Calm, Sotto Bless, Ras Ajai, Ward21 and the label's very own Sean Paul, who dropped his hit single “Bring It” earlier this summer.
The Showtime Riddim, a timeless gem born from Dave Kelly's creativity, has cemented its legacy in Jamaican music lore. Originating in the 1990s and continuing its widespread appeal to this day, the riddim has mesmerized audiences worldwide. Recognized in a recent Rolling Stone feature as one of the "25 Riddims That Have Defined Jamaican Music," it underscores its cultural impact.
Esteemed artist Sean Paul, in a 2022 interview with Vibe Magazine, expressed his admiration for the Showtime Riddim and its influence on the dancehall genre. By releasing his track "Bring It" on "Dutty Showtime," Sean Paul fulfills his aspiration to contribute to this legendary riddim, infusing 90s dancehall vibes into a contemporary context.
Reggae sensation Tarrus Riley, reflecting on his experience, mentioned, “Growing up in the 90s Showtime was one of the top riddims, definitely in the top three for me. It’s a great feeling to be part of this project today and express gratitude to Dutty Rock for the opportunity.”
The collective reimagining of this classic riddim evokes a sense of nostalgia while embracing a modern, up-tempo flair in the instrumentation.
