There's a 7-note pattern looped in this mix that 311 briefly used in "Prisoner" for a hot second (1:18-1:21), but is that a common reggae riff in the genre? Could it be a potential Standards issue if it was?
------------------------------------------
Liontamer - if anyone's really familiar with reggae, had a quick question on a riff used a lot in this mix; just want to be sure it's not somehow a case where you could argue there's big usage of "non-VGM" as a source tune; for @djpretzel too, if you have any opinion
Rexy- He said he took inspiration from 2 riddims; gonna bring up some reading material
Hot milk - http://www.dub-stuy.com/riddimology-20-crucial-versions-of-the-hot-milk-riddim
Stalag - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalag_riddim
I’ll go close and see how it relates in use to that one track posted in the thread
Liontamer - Thanks for looking
Rexy - Okay, that clip in the song you linked used a Stalag riddim - characterised by that 7 note riff

According to Wikipedia, that riff has been around for nearly 70 years
Liontamer - Thanks; yeah, I knew I'd heard that rhythm before, so I knew it had some sort of history; I guess I'll look to Dave for Standards guidance
djpretzel - ya I mean, reggae has a lot of reused patterns, not surprising
listening now, I'd say fine
reggae, blues, you've got a ton of common progressions/patterns, gotta allow those or the genres go out the window
cool mix
