LAVA LAMP RIDDIM produced by ARTICA PRODUCTION 2013
Lava Lamp Overview
The Lava Lamp Riddim became a Carnival anthem in 2013, thanks to its heavy truck anthem base. This bassline was perfect for sound system culture, filling the streets and trucks with deep, rolling energy. The riddim’s strong foundation made it a favorite for DJs and sound crews, who needed that driving beat to move crowds during Carnival. Behind this release was ARTICA PRODUCTION, a label known for its focus on high-energy soca and dancehall music. ARTICA PRODUCTION had already built a reputation for producing tracks that work well on both radio and sound systems. Their careful work on Lava Lamp Riddim helped shape its distinctive sound. The riddim featured standout performances by five artists. Johnny Prospects delivered “Sharks & Bananas,” a track that quickly became a party favorite. Kuttit’s “Javelins - Like Keshorn” was inspired by Keshorn Walcott’s Olympic win, celebrating Caribbean pride. Lyrikal, who is known for his hit “Loner,” brought extra heat with “Bumper Dystrukshun.” Wildfire added his own flavor with “Crazy,” and Young Image kept the energy high with “Play Jab Or Die.” Each artist brought their own style, but the riddim’s strong base connected all the tracks. Fans remember Lava Lamp Riddim as the heartbeat of Carnival 2013. Its blend of infectious rhythms and powerful vocals made it a staple on playlists and sound systems across the season. Even years later, the riddim still brings back memories of that unforgettable Carnival.
