DAT IS IT RIDDIM produced by DJ DESKTOP RECORDS 2023
Dat Is It Overview
The Dat Is It Riddim started in a lively studio session, where musicians focused on blending traditional calypso sounds with modern soca energy. The arranger, known for his deep roots in island music, led the team with a clear vision: create a rhythm that captures the spirit of carnival. He encouraged the musicians to use steelpan and brass, giving the riddim its bright, festive feeling. DJ DESKTOP RECORDS, the producer behind this project, has a reputation for bringing fresh Caribbean music to the world. The label has built a following through consistent digital releases and by supporting both new and established soca artists.

Lil Jelo adds “Galavant,” a track that keeps dancers moving with its playful lyrics and fast-paced rhythm. Lil Jelo has built a reputation for party anthems and has performed at major festivals across the Caribbean. Khalifah’s contribution, “I Like To,” stands out for its smooth vocals and joyful mood.
