Smoke Riddim produced by Monk Music 2023
Smoke Overview
The festival groove of the Smoke Riddim started in the studio with a clear vision. The sound architect wanted to create a rhythm that would bring people together and keep the dance floors moving. The goal was to blend traditional soca energy with new, exciting sounds that could stand out during the 2023 carnival season. Producer Monk Music played a key role in shaping the riddim. Known for his work in the Caribbean music scene, Monk Music has built a reputation for crafting tracks that dominate parties and radio playlists. His attention to detail and understanding of what makes a soca anthem have led to collaborations with some of the genre’s top names. Monk Music’s productions have racked up thousands of streams and have become staples at major festivals. On the Smoke Riddim, Bunji Garlin delivers the track "Forward." Bunji Garlin is a well-respected soca artist from Trinidad and Tobago. He is known for his powerful voice and energetic performances. Bunji Garlin won the Soul Train Award for Best International Performance in 2013 for his hit "Differentology." His song "Forward" on this riddim brings his signature intensity and lyrical style to the collection. Shurwayne Winchester also stands out with "Wet Dem Down." Shurwayne Winchester is another big name in soca, with a history of Road March and Soca Monarch wins in Trinidad and Tobago. His contribution adds a catchy and rhythmic layer that keeps listeners engaged. Looking back, the Smoke Riddim was a must-have at every 2023 fete, with DJs reloading tracks as the crowd demanded more.
