Knockout Riddim (2014) – Optimus Productions

Optimus Productions’ 2014 Knockout Riddim is a compact two-track soca release that pairs Denise Belfon’s Night Nurse with KMC’s Knock Knock, keeping the focus tight on two veteran voices from Trinidad’s dancefloor side. The riddim sits neatly in the same early-2010s Optimus catalogue that helped define the label’s soca output, with a polished, carnival-ready bounce and a straightforward party feel rather than a crowded compilation approach. It’s the kind of release that is easy to remember for its brevity and for bringing Belfon and KMC together on one sharp, no-frills rhythm.
