THADDEUS RIDDIM produced by VARIOUS ARTISTS 2012
Thaddeus Overview
When Carnival 2012 rolled through the islands, one rhythm stood out above the rest. The Thaddeus Riddim, crafted by the skilled hands of a local arranger, became the heartbeat of the parade. Steelpan melodies danced over a driving soca beat, making it impossible for anyone to stand still. The journey of this rhythm began months before the celebration. The arranger worked closely with the producer known as VARIOUS ARTISTS. This producer is no stranger to the soca world, having built a reputation for blending traditional island sounds with modern energy. Their label has pushed several big soca projects, helping songs reach streaming platforms and radio stations across the Caribbean and beyond. When Thaddeus Riddim was ready, it called out for voices to bring it to life. Steve I answered with "For The Longest While," a song that quickly became a parade favorite. Duceman followed with "Hold It Up," his energy matching the wild spirit of the crowd. Nandi Lewis, known for her powerful vocals, added "Doh Bother," giving the rhythm a confident, joyful touch. Izac King, who has worked with several top soca acts, brought his own flavor to "Turn Me On," rounding out the set. As the parade moved through the streets, each song blended into the next. The crowd sang along, waving flags and dancing. For island fans, 2012 will always be remembered for this fete rhythm—a true celebration of soca music’s power to unite and uplift.
