Wakefield Riddim – Yuhseeyou Productions

Wakefield hits with a brisk, party-first soca pulse, all bright synth flashes and rolling percussion that leave plenty of room for the singers to cut through. Yuhseeyou Productions lines up six different voices here, and the pairing of Richie Loop’s “Dancefloor” with Voicemail’s “The Music” sets the tone early: pure movement, no dead weight. Daine and Sampaloo keep the energy climbing with “Dance With You” and “Party Hard, ” while Blak Diamon and Spice bring a slightly sexier edge on “Close To Me” and “Feelin Crazy. ” Released in 2012, it sits right in that era when soca riddims were chasing the road, the dancefloor, and the summer fete in equal measure.
