Lumidee – Never Leave Youĭuring the summer, in 2003, Lumidee released the single “Never Leave You” (Uh Ooh, Uh Oooh!), which was voiced on a remake of the “Diwali Riddim” produced by DJ Tedsmooth & Trendsetta.

BRICK AND LACE LOVE IS WICKED RIDDIM SERIES
The “Diwali Riddim”, produced by Steven “Lenky” Marsden, and released as the 27th volume of the “Greensleeves Rhythm” series could be a classic too somehow. But if we take a closer look, a couple of riddims from the early 2000’s have made their way too. The 80’s are considered, by many, as the golden age. Therefore, riddims like the “Answer”, “Bam Bam”and “Stalag” are now ranked as classics. Those have been remade over and over again during the last decades. When think of riddims that had a significant impact on the Dancehall industry, we first think of riddims of the 80-90’s.
