Heliumx Riddim – Optimus Productions Tt

From Trinidad’s 2018 soca scene, Heliumx Riddim comes in with a bright, springy pulse that feels made for road and stage, with enough low-end thump to keep the waistline busy. Optimus Productions TT keeps the cast tight: Di Hooligan brings the cheeky bounce on “Low, ” Kuttrah leans into pure whining energy with “Wining Spirit, ” and Spyro’s “Who Jumpin’ Up” pushes the party temperature up a notch. Mr Bessor’s “I. O. U. (It’s On Us)” and the Springs/Di Hooligan pairing on “That Is Failure” add a bit more character, while the instrumental cuts through with clean, punchy arrangement rather than clutter. It’s the kind of Carnival-season riddim that sits comfortably beside the sharper Trinidad productions of the late 2010s, aiming straight at the fete and the road.
