Retro Islands Riddim – Dadamanufakture & DJQ

Dadamanufakture and DJQ’s Retro Islands Riddim arrived in 2023 as a four-track soca project with a compact, dance-ready feel, pairing Fimba’s Fun Cyan Done, Fireman Hooper’s Sapodilla Woman, Georgie Duarte’s On The Dance Floor, and Sun Divas’ Why on the same groove. The release is credited to Dadamanufakture and DJQ and was issued in mid-June 2023, with an instrumental version also part of the set. Fireman Hooper and Georgie Duarte bring the most immediate hooks, while Sun Divas and Fimba keep the energy light and melodic. It sits neatly in Dadamanufakture’s catalog as a clean, island-rooted riddim with a playful title and a straightforward, party-minded soca bounce.
