EMERGENCY RIDDIM produced by PRECISION PRODUCTIONS 2013
Emergency Overview
The Emergency Riddim soca compilation from 2013 brought together some of the most exciting tracks of that Carnival season. The collection featured Destra Garcia with “Mash Up,” DJ HP’s “Maddd Again,” Fya Empress on “We Ready,” and Teddyson John’s “Backa.” Each song carried the high energy and infectious rhythms that kept parties moving and crowds dancing. Destra Garcia’s “Mash Up” stood out with her signature powerful vocals and stage presence. Destra is widely known for her hit “Lucy,” which became a Carnival anthem in Trinidad and Tobago. DJ HP delivered “Maddd Again,” a track that captured the playful and lively spirit of the festival. Fya Empress, who performed “We Ready,” is recognized for her strong voice and has previously won the National Calypso Queen title in Trinidad and Tobago. Teddyson John’s “Backa” brought a smooth yet energetic vibe, adding his St. Lucian flavor to the mix. Teddyson John is also known for his 2016 album “Let’s Go,” which helped to spread his name across the Caribbean soca scene. Behind the scenes, PRECISION PRODUCTIONS shaped the sound of the Emergency Riddim. The production house, led by Kasey Phillips, is based in Trinidad and Tobago and has worked on many major soca hits, including Machel Montano’s “Like Ah Boss.” Their attention to detail and experience in the genre helped create a seamless, danceable compilation. Even years after its release, the Emergency Riddim remains a favorite at Carnival events and parties, instantly bringing back memories of 2013’s vibrant celebrations.
