8-BIT RIDDIM produced by XPLICITMEVON / N.M.G MUSIC 2021
8-Bit Overview
In 2021, the festival groove known as the 8-Bit Riddim became a standout sound across Caribbean carnivals. Its bright, digital energy fit perfectly with the year’s need for uplifting, dance-driven music. As the world looked for ways to celebrate together again, this riddim brought people back to the road, quickly spreading from carnival trucks to main stages and uniting fans in movement. The unique sound of the 8-Bit Riddim owes much to its island arranger, who blended traditional soca with playful, electronic layers. Behind the scenes, the producer XPLICITMEVON / N.M.G MUSIC played a major role in shaping the project’s direction. Known for their work in the soca and dancehall scenes, XPLICITMEVON / N.M.G MUSIC has built a reputation for crafting rhythms that keep crowds moving. Their previous productions have earned millions of streams, reflecting their impact on the modern Caribbean sound. Turning to the artists, Bunji Garlin, XplicitMevon, and N.M.G Music teamed up for the energetic track "All House Is Road." Bunji Garlin, a Trinidadian soca star, is well known for his global hit "Differentology," which won the 2013 Soul Train Award for Best International Performance. Here, his vocals ride the riddim’s pulse, giving the song instant carnival appeal. Another highlight comes from Fay, Ann Lyons, XplicitMevon, and N.M.G Music with "Sleepwalk," adding a smooth, melodic touch to the collection.
