Drum Machine Riddim – Ytm Recordz

Drum Machine Riddim from YTM Recordz sits right in the 2019 soca run, a lean five-track set that pairs Mr Legz and Destra Garcia on “Wining Challenge” with Shal Marshall’s “Mas Forever, ” Olatunji’s “Gimme De Thing, ” and Problem Child’s “That Wine” before closing on the instrumental. The title is apt: this one leans on a tight, programmed beat rather than carnival gloss, with a clipped, mechanical pulse that keeps the energy brisk and the arrangements spare. Destra and Mr Legz bring the most immediate hook on the opening cut, while Problem Child’s ride over the groove feels the most naturally locked in. At just 16 minutes, the riddim moves fast and keeps its focus on a sharp, dance-floor tempo and a hard, machine-like drum pattern.
