HAPPY FEET RIDDIM produced by SMJ (SHOT MASTER J) PRODUCTION
Happy Feet Overview
When people talk about Carnival in 2013, the Happy Feet Riddim always comes up. This riddim, produced by SMJ (SHOT MASTER J) PRODUCTION, was a must-play at every big fête that year. Shot Master J, known for his work in the soca and dancehall scenes, brought a fresh energy to the party with this release. His label has a history of pushing new sounds into the spotlight, and Happy Feet Riddim is one of his most popular productions. Compared to other fête mixes from 2013, Happy Feet Riddim stood out for its lively, bouncy style. Other riddims from that year often focused on heavy bass or electronic effects, but Happy Feet kept things simple and fun, making it perfect for dancing. Devon Matthews, with his track "Feeling," gave the riddim a strong, heartfelt vibe. Matthews is also remembered for his hit "D Journey," which won the Road March title in Trinidad and Tobago in 2017. Nikesha Reyes brought smooth vocals to "Spend The Night," adding a sweet touch to the mix. Shalli & Orlando Octave teamed up for "Fire," delivering a catchy anthem that crowds loved. Orlando Octave is well known for his hit song "Single," which made waves in the Caribbean music charts. The fête composer’s role was key—each artist brought their own style, but Shot Master J made sure every track fit the high-energy Carnival mood. Even today, Happy Feet Riddim gets played whenever DJs want to bring back the 2013 Carnival feeling.
