CalgarySoca turned 5! Thanks to everyone who came out to celebrate!

Oh how time flies! For our 5th anniversary we got a new venue, more vibes, goodies, good friends, and great music! Saturday April 23 was our 2nd PREMIUM EVENT alongside the TriniVibe TV crew.  Its their 2nd anniversary and we're happy to continue the new tradition of the all RED party in April! This year we were at Local 522 Tickets holders enjoyed  Champagne , and other 'presents' we had got to giveway (including FREE tickets to do it again on the following Friday at Standard Night Club).   DJ 'Soca Sweetness' was on hand to play alongside CalgarySoca's Drew Atlas and DJ Majesti for a night of the best Soca and Reggae. Its our birthday party, and thanks to everyone that came out...and WORE RED!

Focus on 2016 Power Soca

As promised, we focus on the 2016 Power Soca tunes this week. First we ease in with a few new groovy joints before we turn up the pace. By the 2nd half of the show, the studio turns into party central as we let the latest music grow on us. One listen and these will probably grow on you too. Enjoy!

The 'Best Of 2015' Year End Show

Image
As we come to the end of 2015, the crew recaps the biggest songs out of ALL of this year's major Caribbean Carnivals . Trying to pick the best of all the songs for 2015 means going back to songs that were released as far back as 2014 Summer, as tunes can catch a '2nd wind' when they reach Trinidad for Carnival the following year. In short, if a song was in HEAVY ROTATION from February - August 2015 we considered it! There were literally HUNDREDS of tunes to pick from and these are each of our personal choices.  (Songs released after that will be judged when we see how they perform in 2016.) The CalgarySoca crew give their picks for: Best Groovy Song, Best Power Song, Break Out Artiste , Artiste of the Year and Tune of the Year . Enjoy!  (*Note: Majesti stated in the show that Voice and Young Voice were the same artist which we realize now is NOT correct. Our apologies.   Voice = Aaron St Louis while Young Voice = Kevin James) Download mp3
