Road March Riddim Pt. 2 – Don Writa Records

Road March Riddim Pt. 2 is a lean, road-ready soca package from Don Writa Records, and it lands with the kind of direct waistline energy that usually gets the most mileage in the Carnival run-up. The 2026 release pairs just two vocal cuts, which gives the rhythm plenty of room to breathe and lets the production do more of the talking. That matters here, because the beat is built for movement first: bright percussion, a fast carnival pulse, and a stripped, unpretentious arrangement that feels aimed squarely at DJs and fetes rather than polished crossover play.

The two artists on the riddim are Pumpy Doo and Bashhh, both working in the kind of party-forward soca lane where the hook has to hit quickly and the rhythm has to leave no dead space. Pumpy Doo’s “Waist and Spine” is the more obvious road tune on paper, and it reads like a dance instruction written for maximum rotation. Bashhh’s “My Friends” shifts the energy slightly, giving the riddim a more social, posse-up angle without losing the bounce. That contrast helps the release feel less repetitive than a simple two-track drop might suggest.

Don Writa is already establishing a name in this corner of soca with a run of rhythm-driven releases, and this follows the same approach as the earlier Wibble Wobble set: short, functional, and built for selectors who want something that can hold a dance without overcomplicating the moment. Road March Riddim Pt. 2 fits neatly into that catalogue. It is not trying to be sprawling or concept-heavy. It is trying to move people, and it does that by keeping the groove tight, the vocals focused, and the vibe fully on the road.
