Tape Deck Overview
For fans of soca and sound system culture, the Tape Deck Riddim was a true highlight of Carnival 2023. This rhythm brought the energy of the Caribbean streets right into the heart of every dance and sound clash. Heavy bass, sharp percussion, and bright melodies made it a favorite for selectors and DJs looking to keep the crowd moving. The riddim’s structure allowed each artist to shine, while keeping the vibe united and strong, just like a good sound system session. At the center of this release is Platta Studio, a name well known in soca production. Platta Studio has a history of shaping the sound of modern Caribbean music. Their work has appeared on major soca and carnival playlists, and they are respected for their crisp, energetic production style. The studio’s touch on Tape Deck Riddim gave the songs a powerful, festival-ready feel. Three standout artists brought their own style to the riddim. Bunji Garlin, a Trinidadian soca giant and winner of the 2013 Soul Train Award for Best International Performance, delivered “Classic Like.” His track carried his signature lyrical flow and stage energy. John Teddyson contributed “Don’t Worry Badmind,” adding his unique voice and message to the mix. Skinny Fabulous, known for his hit “Famalay” with Machel Montano and Bunji Garlin, brought “Rough” to the project, showing why he remains a top name in soca.
