This might be a difficult one, but @Christiaan always surprises me.
What is the feature or ability you would like to have?
Is it possible for the find track information to try to pull the riddim EP information (if possible) instead of pulling the track information from the individual featured artists album or single.
I’m thinking if a song has a usertag “riddim” then Lexicon could try to find the tags and art of the riddim EP instead.
As an open format DJ, I play dancehall/reggae riddims in my set.
Many dancehall artists do release some of their riddim tracks in their full albums or as singles. Especially if it was a popular track when released just as part of a riddim.
How will this feature help you and others?
Most dancehall DJs would typically do a medley of the hottest songs on a riddim pack e.g. 3 to 4 tracks quick mix.
It would be nice to be able to check the “album” see the name of the riddim and do a quick search of the album to play other tracks from the same riddim EP.
Does a workaround currently exist?
I manually enter the name of the riddim in the grouping or album tag.
I know some DJs have a workaround of including the riddim name in the track title, but I like my title to be just track title, no extra bit of information.
A riddim is an instrumental produced by a reggae/dancehall producer. He then commissions a bunch of different artists to make tracks on the same instrumental and releases it as a riddim album.
Any of the artists can include the song they performed on in their own subsequent album or as a separate single release.
Eg Get Busy by Sean Paul is Diwali riddim. Not a great example but that’s the gist.
Point is that the riddim is usually the first release
What I don’t really understand is that you just need the album, so if Lexicon finds “One Day Riddim” is that not all you need? Or am I missing something?
