After the successful first single Musicman, a result of the debut collaboration between RootsInSession and Tadiman, RootsInSession continue their mission with the riddim album, which is planned to be released this summer. For the second single, they invited another veteran to the studio – better known as the front man well known punk-rock-ska-metal-reggae group Elvis Jackson. RootsInSession represents the second single Lockdown by Buda, to whom ska rhythms are nothing new, and it was only a matter of time before this collaboration would take place.
Buda presents his story entitled Lockdown, in which he describes his view on the situation the whole world is currently in, with a strong message “It’s not your last dance”. The Lockdown Ska Riddim is produced by Pier and Fu in collaboration with Marko Gaćina, frontman of the Croatian band Brain Holidays, who is also in charge of the mix and mastering of all the Lockdown Ska riddim versions.

Riddim is the Jamaican Patois pronunciation of the English word “rhythm”. But when used in reggae culture, this term refers to the instrumental. If a particular riddim becomes very popular, it may be used as an instrumental for dozens of other songs performed by various artists, not only for in recordings but also in live performances.
