After some weeks of Lockdown DJ Densen & Riddim Magazine decided to start the “The Lockdown Riddim Challenge”: While the world was in lockdown and everybody had to stay at home they tried to bring back a little positivity and creativity to the global Reggae community. The idea was to spread some positive vibes and create a virtual Riddim selection.

Cologne producers DJ Densen and .mlnd provided the instrumental version of the “Lockdown Riddim“. A deep Modern Roots Reggae production with space for versatile artists and styles.

Way more than 100 artists from all over the world participated in the challenge and posted their version of the “Lockdown Riddim” on their social media platforms. Because of the great feedback we decided to curate some of our favorite songs and create an official “Lockdown Riddim” selection with around 10 songs.

Let’s start with the first one:

Lutan Fyah – “Blood River”

Blood River is a Conscious Reggae song of one of Jamaica’s most established artists, Lutan Fyah. In times of the lockdown, the killing of George Floyd and the #BLM Movement, Lutan took the opportunity to raise awareness for the conflicts and suffering of black people in Africa. With the Lockdown Riddim being the musical background, Lutan Fyah used his voice and style to bring in a meditative deep vibe to this one of a kind production.

“Every contact with this subject and every question about the reasons for this mess, helps people gain consciousness – no matter which color!“

Lutan Fyah is a conscious reggae singer and deejay. He was born in Thompson Pen, Spanish Town in the Parish of St. Catherine, Jamaica. He started his musical career in 1999 and recorded his first songs for Buju Banton’s Gargamel records. Lutan Fyah is one of the hardest working singers on the island today. “Blood River“ is one of many singles that Lutan Fyah released this year and surely one of the most important ones.
