Bhangraton Riddim – Monk Music

Monk Music’s 2023 Bhangraton Riddim lines up Kernal Roberts, Karene Asche and Zan on a four-track soca set, with Chinese Laundry handling the instrumental cut. Kernal Roberts’ Bollywood Party, Karene Asche’s No Business Dey and Zan’s Livin’ In It give the riddim its vocal identity, while the production comes through in a short, carnival-ready package that runs just four songs long. Released on Monk Music Co. / Chinese Laundry Music in November 2023, it sits neatly in the era of compact soca EPs built for the season, with a bright, dance-first feel and a clear focus on singalong hooks rather than overcomplication.
