Charlie Sheen Riddim – Dwaingerous Productions

By 2011, Dwaingerous Productions had this one pegged to the kind of cheeky, waist-moving soca energy that names itself before the first drop, and the Charlie Sheen Riddim keeps that party-minded lane moving with a sturdy lineup of ten cuts. Lil Rick’s “Eh Yo” and Machel Montano’s “Doh Fraid” are the big pull here, while Patrice Roberts on “Swing It Up” and Skinny Fabulous on “Waist” keep the groove flirting with pure bacchanal. There’s a playful Bajan thread running through tracks like Fadda Fox’s “Wine It Gyal” and Ricky Minaj Jones’ “Wuk Up, ” so the riddim never feels stuck in one pocket for too long. It’s the sort of 2011 soca set that sounds built for road music and lime time, with enough familiar voices to carry it across the carnival season.
