JUGGLING
Core Definition
Playing multiple different vocal cuts over the same riddim back-to-back, showcasing the variety of artists who voiced that one instrumental.
[ Comprehensive Explanation & Cultural Context ]
'Juggling' a riddim is a distinctly Jamaican selector skill: rather than mixing between different rhythms, the selector stays on one riddim and cycles through the many different vocal versions recorded over it, letting the crowd hear how differently each artist interpreted the same beat.
