Storm Riddim produced by Shumba Mahluli for Mova Records 2023
Storm Overview
When Storm Riddim dropped in 2023, soca fans quickly embraced its energy. The riddim’s lively beat became a favorite at island parties, and its sound echoed across streets filled with masqueraders during major parades. Listeners praised the way Storm Riddim brought both a fresh vibe and a sense of tradition, making it a standout release for that year’s festival season. The project brought together Mykela, Soca Dre, and Solstarr, each adding their own style to the riddim. Mykela, known for her popular track "Hot Gyal," delivered a dynamic performance that matched the excitement of the crowd. Soca Dre, who made waves with his song "Storm," brought a powerful presence to the release, building on his growing reputation in the soca scene. Solstarr’s "On Yuh Mark" rounded out the project with a high-energy contribution, helping to keep the riddim’s momentum going strong. Behind the scenes, producer Shumba Mahluli played a key role in shaping the sound. Working for Mova Records, Mahluli is recognized for his consistent output in Caribbean music. With Mova Records already known for supporting innovative soca projects, the label’s involvement helped Storm Riddim reach a wide audience. The combination of skilled artists and a respected producer resulted in a release that stayed at the heart of the 2023 parade season. Even months later, the Storm Riddim is still remembered for its impact on the year’s celebrations and its lasting presence in soca playlists.
