Bashey Vybz Riddim – Lunatix

Seven cuts and one instrumental give Bashey Vybz Riddim the shape of a compact soca session, with Destra Garcia’s “Waistline Killer, ” Swappi’s “Backbone, ” and Zuki and Timtim’s “To The Point” doing most of the heavy lifting. Lunatix keeps the groove bright and jump-up, the kind of rhythm that leaves room for melody without losing the bass and bounce that drive a carnival tune. Jahmel’s “Messi” and Makamillion’s “Good” sit neatly in that pocket too, while Kerry John’s “Make It Work” adds a sharper edge to the lineup. The closing instrumental, credited to Lunatix Productions, lets the riddim speak for itself and underlines how cleanly the whole project is arranged.
