SLU Records (Studio 758) would like to thank our family, DJs, the media and most of all our fans for our success this carnival season. We are grateful to be a significant part of the growth and success of St. Lucia carnival and music.

Ricky T., Ilah Man and Teddyson John worked very hard this season. They all placed in the competitions they entered and headlined all the major events during this carnival. Ricky T. has dominated the Power Soca and became the three time Road March King. Ilah Man has shown major improvement and demonstrated that he has what it takes to be the future of Soca, while Teddyson John exhibited excellence as an entertainer throughout the season. Although we are disappointed with the results of the Groovy Soca, we are thrilled and appreciative for all our achievements. Congratulations to DJ Iwa, Penn and Ace for writing the monster track “Wheel and Come Again” that won three titles this season (Power Soca Monarch, Caribbean Monarch and Road March). Bravo to the team Penn and Ace for producing such a hypnotic riddim “Dystruction Riddim” for the award winning song. Studio 758 are still hard at work and the public can expect new releases from other regional and international artistes from our 2008 riddims (Veteran Riddim, Gladiator Riddim, She She Bang Riddim and Dystrustion Riddim).

Ricky T. will begin touring the world again in two weeks from July 30th 2008. First stop will be Antigua, then Toronto, Barbados, St. Marteen, Sweden, Paris, England and New York. Trinidad’s carnival planning committee has already invited us to a meeting on August 14th to discuss his participation in the 2009 International Soca Monarch. Teddyson John will be joining Ricky T. on a few of his dates. Teddyson is also expected to headline 8 events for Miami’s carnival in October. Ilah Man’s first major performance outside St. Lucia is expected to be in New York on Sunday August 31st in Brooklyn. He will also be joining Ricky T. and Teddsyon John during Miami’s carnival as an opening act on their shows.
