ECLIPSE RIDDIM (SOCA) – STRATOSPHERE MUZIC 2015
Eclipse Overview
In 2015, the carnival jam riddim became a key soundtrack for Caribbean festivals. The riddim’s energetic beat and joyful style matched the excitement of parades and street parties. It quickly moved from the studio to the road, played on carnival trucks and stages across the region. The Eclipse Riddim was produced by Stratosphere Muzic, a label known for bringing fresh sounds to soca and dancehall. Their version, Stratosphere Muzic — Eclipse Riddim Version, helped set the tone for the entire collection. The riddim’s lively tempo and strong calypso influence made it popular with both artists and fans. Alison Hinds, often called the “Queen of Soca,” added her voice to the riddim with Alison Hinds — Wining Machin. Hinds is famous for her hit “Roll It Gal,” and she brings the same power and style to this track. Her song on the Eclipse Riddim became a favorite for dancers and parade-goers, showing her lasting influence in soca music. Another highlight is Shurwayne & Mr Vegas — Permission. Shurwayne Winchester, a well-known soca singer, joined with Mr Vegas, a Jamaican dancehall star. Mr Vegas is recognized worldwide for hits like “Heads High.” Their collaboration brought together two big names from different genres, adding a unique twist to the riddim. The Eclipse Riddim collection is still remembered for its strong link to the 2015 carnival season. The songs continue to bring back memories of that year’s celebrations, keeping the festival spirit alive for many fans.
