Vibeat Riddim – Stadic Music

A sharp, mid-tempo soca drive with a bright, party-ready pulse, Vibeat Riddim sits in that lane where Stadic Music keeps the rhythm tight and uncluttered while leaving room for the vocals to cut through. Bunji Garlin’s “Still Soca” is the anchor here, and Fay-Ann Lyons’ “Keep Some” gives the riddim its cheekier edge, the kind of tune that leans into temptation and attitude rather than pure carnival slogan-writing. Coming off Stadic’s 2015 run that also included the heavier Bitter Riddim and the more crowded Ancestry project, this one feels leaner and more focused, almost like a short-form statement rather than a full compilation. With just two tracks, it’s a compact entry in the label’s soca catalogue, but one that slots neatly beside their sharper Trinidad sides.
