There is no question that fete is in 'we blood' and when it comes to partying and our anniversary this year was another one for the books.  Thanks again to the hundreds that came out to celebrate with us, and to TriniVibeTV for the video footage of the event! For those who want more 'fete', more often, Drew Atlas, Sherman Hype and DJ Majesti will be continuing the vibes every Friday, all summer long with #UptownFridays at Calgary's beautiful 'Standard Nightclub' . Be on the lookout for special guests and surprises as the weather gets warmer!

What are you planning on doing this Saturday? Nothing yet?  How about spending the afternoon at a block-party with International star OMI, before checking out his concert on Sunday .  He is in town this weekend for his show at the Grey Eagle and Casino on May 1st, (click here for tickets)  but will be making appearances throughout the weekend. We heard it through the grapevine that he'll be at the Thirsty Turtle  (7337 Sierra Morena Bld SW) on Saturday for a 'Jamaican Style Blocko' party presented by VidaLash . Music by the Turntable Knights and DJ Maniac Maurice Saturday April 30th at 4:00pm .  Get Advanced tickets for the 'Blocko' from $15 !

This is 2nd half of this year's monster mix of music celebrating Trinidad and Tobago Carnival 2016 . Outside of the big hits there were quite a few 'riddims' that had our heads nodding all season long. And as much as 'Groovy' dominated the airwaves, there were a few 'Power' songs of note as well (including this year's Road March) Take in both of Drew Atlas' mixes to re-live the best of this year's festival!

Its no secret that Groovy Soca dominated this year's Trinidad Carnival . This is part 1 of a 2 part mix of the best of this year's celebration compiled by CalgarySoca's Drew Atlas . It focuses on some of the biggest groovy tunes played throughout the season. Look for part 2 coming soon which will take you from J'ouvert to the 'Stage'
