Carnival 2026 gets a fresh injection of vibes with the release of Blockbuster Riddim, a tightly produced Soca compilation featuring five standout tracks—each one crafted by producer Michael "Tano" Montano.
This selection of songs delivers a clean, easy‑listening groove from start to finish—a set of tracks built more for club energy, lounge settings, and party‑time moments than the full‑throttle pace of Trinidad Carnival.
The lineup is stacked:
- Kes delivers smooth seduction with “Just a Taste.”
- Denzil Coutain brings the title track “Blockbuster” with full cinematic flair.
- Mical Teja lifts the energy on “Pick Me Up.”
- GBM Nutron embraces a glam style with the track “Hollywood.”
- Fullblown rallies the crew on “One For The Team.”
These aren’t power‑feting tunes—they’re laid‑back, melodic, and groove‑driven, perfect for a night out, a club set, or a cool‑down lime. A different lane, but a solid one.
