Dutty Angels – Silvah & Stemz on the Dutty Mud Riddim


We are back with another track from the album titled "Dutty Mud Riddim." Silvah x Stemz performs this song, "Dutty Angels." While this tune is labeled "Soca" on Julianspromos, here at Kaiso Dial 
we’re spotlighting it for a different reason. This track rides the Dutty Mud Riddim, a raw, percussive groove that feels less like polished Soca and more like a J’ouvert get-on-wicked Calypso rhythm.

The lyrics take us to J'ouvert morning and the bacchanal that takes place before the sun rises. The lyrics hammer home the revelry of Carnival mornings: “powder, oil, everything going to spoil” and the repeated mantra of being “powder, mud and oil.” It’s a celebration of abandon, a "stink and dutty" J’ouvert, and the messy joy that defines J’ouvert.

Stemz delivered a rhythm that is undeniably energetic with the carnival-ready drive of Soca but with the soul of Calypso and a ceremonial j'ouvert jam. The tradition of using mud, paint, and powder dates back to a time when Calypso was the boss of the carnival. That’s why this riddim finds its home on Kaiso Dial: it challenges the boundaries of genre and reminds us that Carnival music is as much about vibe as it is about labels. Enjoy the vibe and share this Kaiso Dial post with your social media contacts.
