Island Riddim (2011) – Aquarion Studios

Aquarion Studios keeps this one tight with six soca cuts and a lineup that leans straight into the season, from Hasty’s “Daylight Come” and Mr. Killa’s “Sugar Pot” to Sheldon Douglas on “Ah An Lying” and the two guest spots that give the set a little extra lift. The riddim itself sits in that bright, carnival-ready lane, with a quick stride and enough bounce for call-and-response hooks, and the track sequencing makes room for the more playful entries like Sujar J and Laura Lisa on “Walkie Talkie Man. ” It first turned up in 2011, and the version that circulated under Aquarion Studios was issued as a six-song EP, with “Mista Wukka” credited to Nekoyan and Keisha in the final slot.
