Master Blaster Riddim – Platta Records

Platta’s Master Blaster Riddim sits a little looser and rowdier than the usual straight-ahead soca package, with a cheeky, party-first pulse that sounds made for waistline business rather than pretty calypso polish. Big Red The DJ’s “Twerkie Twerkie” and Lil Rick’s “I Like Um” are the obvious hook-ups here, both leaning hard into the double entendre and crowd-call energy that kept 2014 soca moving through the season. Sekon Sta and King Bubba FM’s “Bashment Time” pushes the tempo with a more bashment-leaning bounce, while Peter Ram’s “Taxeisha” keeps things tight and catchy. The full set runs ten tracks deep, including the instrumental, and it landed in 2014, right in that sweet spot when Barbados and the wider island circuit were pumping out carnival-ready riddims built for instant replay.
