The 8-Bit Riddim comes as a tight three-track soca set, with Bunji Garlin, Fay-Ann Lyons and XplicitMevon handling the vocal and instrumental sides in quick succession. Released on January 5, 2021, it keeps the spotlight on XplicitMevon and N. M. G Music’s production, while the two marquee cuts, “All House Is Road” and “Sleepwalk, ” give the riddim its character. The title points to the hook: a sharp, computer-game gloss threaded through carnival-ready percussion, skittering synth lines and a bright, clipped melodic feel. Bunji Garlin’s road anthem energy and Fay-Ann Lyons’ more melodic approach sit neatly over the same framework, but the real thread is the pace and the pulsing low end, which keep the whole thing moving with a lean, forward drive.
