Grande finale 2011 for Riddims Tropicale. DJ Silent Pressure (you already know him from #16) came over to the studio to have some cool drinks and wobbly basses. No special topic this time, just rocking back to back, strictly genre-hopping and having fun. Over 2 and a half hours of tropical ping-pong starting with some nice Semba from Angola moving over to Soca, Bass, Kuduro, Mambo, Funky, House, Zouglou, Reggaeton, 3ball, Tropical and so on. The whole session ends – how else could it be in December – with a quick Parang session, Trinidad’s own christmas music everybody enjoys.

Btw.: We are in the middle of the Soca summer season with carnivals in St. Vincent, St. Lucia, Barbados and Grenada. Soca heads and bacchanalists watch out for a special edition of the MashUp Show loaded with nu tunes nu tunes nu tunes. We are also working on a proper archive for both shows.
The recipe for brewing a UK Funky tune might not be overly complicated but the result is quite enjoyable. And since this tune was requested a couple of times I just thought why not give it away for free before it ends up collecting dust on my HD. Anyway…feel free to spread the link, love it or hate on it.
If you ask for my humble opinion this song is just sick sick sick! Donaeo keeps on doing big chune after big chune. “So fly” will be part of the upcoming album released next month, 26th July 2010. Can’t wait to play this in the clubs.
