Heartstop Overview

In 2011, the sound of soca trucks rolling through Carnival streets was shaped by the Heartstop Riddim. This powerful base became an anthem, driving crowds and dancers with every beat. BRANDO PRODUCTIONS / AR15 PRODUCTIONS, known for their sharp production and influence in Caribbean music, crafted this riddim. Their work has reached across the region, and they have a reputation for pushing fresh soca sounds into the spotlight. The creation of Heartstop Riddim started in the studio, where the producers built a foundation meant for loud speakers and open roads. As the riddim took shape, four artists brought their unique voices to the project. Chemical X delivered "One By One," a track that quickly found favor among Carnival DJs. Figga! followed with "Heart Stop," adding his energy to the mix. Raggie, recognized for his lively stage presence, contributed "Dem Cya Stop We," a song that kept the momentum high. Styler Don completed the lineup with "War," bringing a fierce edge to the compilation. Each song matched the excitement of the season, and together they formed the pulse of 2011’s Carnival. From studio sessions to booming truck speakers, the Heartstop Riddim traveled far, making its mark on soca history and soundtracking unforgettable celebrations.
