Soca Hero Riddim – Bassink Productions

By 2014, soca was in full carnival mode, and Bassink Productions tapped that energy with Soca Hero Riddim, a four-cut set that keeps the focus tight. Bunji Garlin’s “All Odem” leads the charge, with Shurwayne Winchester, Lil Rick, and Shanta Prince rounding out a compact lineup that leans more toward party-forward anthem writing than big conceptual twists. The production sits in that brisk, road-ready pocket soca fans knew well in the mid-2010s: bright synth accents, a firm kick pattern, and a low end that stays punchy without crowding the vocal lines. Shurwayne’s “All Inclusive Jam” and Lil Rick’s “So Nice” bring the most immediate hook work, while the rhythm itself stays clipped and propulsive, built for a fast tempo and easy chant-along delivery.
