Riddim (genre)

Riddim (also called Trench[3]) is a subgenre of dubstep known for its heavy use of repetitive and minimalist sub-bass and triplet percussion arrangements.

Although not considered a riddim artist, Rusko originally produced dubstep that featured riddim-esque bassline patterns.

[4][5] Various other artists have been credited for having contributed to the rise of the subgenre, including Bukez Finezt, Coffi, Deemed, Blankface, Drippy, The Monsters, Coki from Digital Mystikz, and Kromestar.

[7][8] In February 2019, American multi-platinum artist Marshmello collaborated with riddim producer Svdden Death to release the song "Sell Out".

[15] In October 2020, producer Papa Khan released his Blossom EP, which was recognized by Marshmello and promoted on JOYTIME COLLECTIVE.

Riddim utilises repetitive, minimalistic layers and triplet percussion arrangements[citation needed] in a rhythmic style.

[6] Jayce Ullah-Blocks of EDM Identity characterised modern riddim with the presence of low-frequency oscillation (LFO) square waves, wide delays, and a large use of flanger and chorus filters.
