Veteran producer Evroy “Quincy Din” Chin is optimistic about the successes of his latest studio effort, Earth Movers Riddim, which was released on Friday, October 18.
The six-track riddim project features the likes of veteran reggae and dancehall artistes Admiral Tibet, Terry Ganzie, Ganggoolie, as well as relatively established act Tabeta Cshae, and upcoming talents Mawga Don and Izula.
Chin, who has been in music since 1988, said the idea materialized from a dubplate recording session he was conducting with Terry Ganzie.
“Terry Ganzie was the first artiste that voiced on the Riddim and Izula came by heard it and asked to voice. Then it was almost like the same process for the others, Admiral Tibet, and Tabeta, whose voice had me rocking inside the studio so I asked her to bless me with a song,” Chin said.
The Westmoreland-born musician shared that, although some of the featured acts will generate attention to the project, he believes the quality production will merit its own success.
“The riddim is a computer built riddim, but the instruments are just a real as the live instruments. Some of the acts will draw attention yes, but the project is quality and that alone with stand by itself,” Chin added.
Chin’s journey in music has seen him taking on various roles as a sound system operator and an MC.
He has also had the pleasure of recording and producing the likes of Half Pint, Luciano, Mikey General, Pinchers and Capleton.
This wealth of experience, he says, is now the blueprint for his modus operandi as he seek to enlarge his production label Quincy Din Records.
“I have been in the entertainment business since 1994 working as a coordinator at Breezes Resorts, Sandals and Royal Bahamian. Then I started playing sound-systems and being around studios in 1998, but I started taking production seriously in 2011. So I have a wealth of experience, which I intend to bring to the table,” he said.
Chin said he is grateful for the positive support thus far, and that he is currently in studio working on the completion of a one-drop riddim project in honor of his late daughter Samantha.
“She loved music,” he said.
