DAY FETE RIDDIM produced by MARTIAN MUSIC 2014
Day Fete Overview
In 2014, the carnival music scene was full of energy and change. The Day Fete Riddim arrived at just the right moment, mixing old-school soca sounds with new rhythms. Its base had the bright horns and lively beats that make people want to dance, but it also used modern production touches that fit the year’s style. This blend helped the riddim stand out at Carnival parties and on the radio. Behind the scenes, the carnival director played a key role in shaping the sound, bringing together the right artists and energy for the season. The producer, MARTIAN MUSIC, was known for capturing the spirit of Caribbean celebrations. Their studio work let the natural sound of the instruments shine and kept the music fresh. With a reputation for quality soca releases, MARTIAN MUSIC helped push the genre forward during this time. The Day Fete Riddim featured some of soca’s most popular voices. Destra Garcia, one of Trinidad and Tobago’s best-known artists, brought her powerful vocals to "Lucky." Destra is famous for her hit "Lucy" and her strong presence at Carnival events. Farmer Nappy added his smooth style to "Doh Remember." In 2015, he won the Calypso Monarch title, showing his influence in the genre. Lyrikal’s "Dey In It" kept the crowd moving, while Nadia Batson’s "Sun Come Up" added a joyful touch. Nadia is known for her songwriting and for reaching the finals of the International Soca Monarch competition. Today, the Day Fete Riddim still gets played at Carnival flashbacks, reminding listeners of a year when classic and modern soca came together in a big way.
