TAMBRINE RIDDIM produced by CORNELIUS RECORDS 2016
Tambrine Overview
In 2016, the carnival-inspired track base was everywhere on the festival scene. The sound was bright and full of energy, perfect for the road marches and street parties that define Carnival. This style, built on fast-paced drums and catchy melodies, brought a wave of excitement to both soca and dancehall music that year. Soca producers have always played a key role in shaping these festival sounds. Their influence was clear in the way the riddim blended classic soca elements with a modern twist. Behind this release was CORNELIUS RECORDS, a label known for its focus on Caribbean dance music. CORNELIUS RECORDS has worked with a variety of artists and helped bring new riddims to wider audiences, gaining streams and attention across the Caribbean and beyond. The artists on this riddim each brought their own style. Byll Gatezs delivered “Scamma Wine,” a dance-ready track that matched the carnival spirit. Gmac’s “My Life” offered a personal touch, showing the range possible within the riddim. Gully Bop, famous for his viral hit “Body Specialist,” added his unique voice to “Tha Rum Deh.” John Bling’s “Heart Transplant” stood out with its catchy hooks, while Kalado, known for songs like “Personally,” gave the lineup “Badmind Caan Stop.” Together, these tracks captured the lively, colorful sound of 2016’s Carnival roads.
