Wake Up Riddim (2017) – DJ Fly

Wake Up Riddim keeps things tight with just two cuts, and that lean setup suits DJ Fly’s 2017 soca project well. There’s no overcrowded tracklist to dilute the idea: Jahyanai King steps in first on “Bacchanal, ” bringing the kind of party-ready energy the title promises, while Cecile’s “Mms” gives the riddim its sharpest edge and the one performance that lingers after the music stops. The production stays geared toward the road and the fete, with a brisk pulse and enough bounce to carry both voices without overcomplicating the arrangement. It’s a small release, but it moves like one that knows exactly what it’s after, and Cecile’s turn is the cut that leaves the clearest mark.
