11. Highland Riddim (Federation Sound)
Dancehall generals and NYC stalwarts Federation Sound returned to the dancehall production arena this year with their original and stacked Highland Riddim. Co-produced with Selecta 7 out in LA, the riddim calls heavily on the stripped-down, minimal, 90’s-era sound Federation loves – and so do we – and keeps the energy moving into 2016. Extra large features from longtime Federation family Vybz Kartel with “Sumn Sumn,” along with big tunes from Tifa, Marcy Chin, Ward 21, Mr Lexx, Red Fox and more. Don’t talk it if yuh nuh mean it … – Deejay Theory
