TropicalBass Soca Roundup #1

New series here on TropicalBass.com! You might have run into Andrès Cumbia Weekly Roundup or Leub’s Reggae & Dancehall Roundups.

Now, with the Soca roundup we want to give you a selection of new tunes of Soca and other styles like Bouyon, Calypso and Steel Drum. The Caribbean, esp. the Lesser Antilles, are still a hotpot when it comes to fresh music.

Your trustworthy hosts of the Soca Roundup are Dave, the soca die-hard from Paris and Marflix, de original bacchanalist from Berlin. Drop us a note in the comments how you like this new section on TropicalBass.com and what you’d like to see more in future episodes.

Jus Now – Tun up feat. Bunji Garlin

Before we start we have to rate this mega banger by Bristol-based team Jus Now. This one will blow up every roof at every Soca party on this planet!

Shurwayne Winchester – My Music

Very nice R’n’B’ish track produced by UIM Records (Jamaica) including a black and white video without the usual Carnival stereotypes.

Denise Belfon – Wining Queen

In opposite to Shurwayne, Trinidad’s own “Saucy Wow” is 100% Carnival with tribal costumes and – of course – wining. Nice out-take of the Project 5 Riddim by StarBlu Ent. & Millibeatz Ent.
