djtate 5:32 PM - 23 November, 2008
yea yea look me right here dude,
Deezy 5:40 PM - 23 November, 2008
That would be great. It's hard out there to keep up by yourself. Soca season dunn start already. I would not mind having the Latin crowd on there to. How do we get this started? Never started one before
bourbonstmc 6:04 PM - 23 November, 2008
8th Wonder (mostly a Hot Garbage pool) gets lots of riddims. It's just $10/mo.

VP records has Reggae & Soca and will put you on their list for free.

ILLZ 5:32 PM - 24 November, 2008
I'm in. I'm on a few mailing lists, plus I creep blogs for new updates, but that's nowhere near enough. Soca especially is real hard to keep with.
Jus Jase 8:08 PM - 24 November, 2008
What's up people. Jus Jase from Trinidad here.
I have started my own reggae mp3 servicing pool. I get all the new riddims & singles direct from Jamaica and I supply many of the major mp3 pools out there with all Caribbean music. I am currently in the process of servicing DJs directly so if anyboy is interested hit me up at:

jusjase@gmail.com

and trust me, no other DJ will be able to test you.

Bless!!!

I'm big time into Soca music. Although I am Cuban American, there are a lot of Jamaican, West Indian and Guyanese people here in Hartford.

I get most of my Soca from people who go back to their Island, VP Record Pool and Promo Only's Caribbean Series.

I'm interested in getting into a pool for Soca music more so than Reggae.
Mic Terror 3:07 PM - 25 November, 2008

Jus Jase 8:03 PM - 25 November, 2008

still looking to share tunes, mek di link..... mi haf nuff vybez from ole to gold... RealHuztler@hotmail.com
Caliber 12:25 AM - 20 March, 2010
its real hard to get soca videos, you would have to ask the artist themselves for the video or home they put them on itunes for sales. If you wanna know what's the hottest soca music you can check out www.toronto-lime.com
Dj Mike P. 2:47 AM - 20 March, 2010
Put me down, I nuff Soca, old, new, even old Calypso, and nuff old reggae riddims.

spinning soca is very much like spinning house, except you will probably do more cuts than layered beatmixing - it is 4 on the floor, with intros and breaks and stuff

besides just knowing the popular tunes, the key (if you're playing for a real soca crowd) is to know where to drop the song in - some songs ppl are very familiar with the opening horns, others with a vocal riff, etc. - doing it wrong can kill the energy
djtate 3:28 AM - 23 March, 2010
yea, farhan, learn the music before, i am tired of djs who play soca and mixes the tunes wrong.

My 14 year old son has been doing it for years. If he can do it, so can you.

Hey good Day folks. I was wondering if anyone had a link to a Soca pool, or could i be placed on a mailing list for Soca. Reggae would be awesome as well, but my first interest would be Soca. Thank you.

Email: rnetdna@gmail.com
Dj Farhan 10:50 AM - 28 October, 2016
My 1st jamaican mix. This is more of a chill one, for the puff puff pass times :P But it will get you moving by the end and then Wait till you listen to the 2nd one :p YOu can DL it from that page if you wish :) soundcloud.com
My 2nd installation to my love for carribean music. This mix will take you on a cruise around the carribean and keep you dancing the entire time. I cant believe i covered over 80 songs in 80 mins! so ready? There is a link in the description for you to DL it if you wish. :) www.mixcloud.com
Well finally, i made a soca mix! i have never made a mix that is as fast paced as this mix! Guaranteed to make u sweat your butt off! I dont know if you can handle it after the 1 hr mark. Over 80 tracks. Ready? ;D There is a link in the description for you to DL it if you wish. :) www.mixcloud.com

RonDu 8:42 PM - 16 February, 2018
This is still a struggle for me since the days of copping 45s and LPs are pretty much gone. Are some of you guys mainly reggae/ soca DJs or what? How are you guy keeping up with all of the these singles and riddims AND other music from other genres? We get like 5 or 6 riddims every week and I can't even tell you how many singles. I have so many riddims and singles with cobwebs that are not seeing the light of day even though some are dope to me.

We have some riddims and singles that don't buss till like 2 years later but how are you guys keeping up? Are you simply playing what everyone else is playing? Is there a secret playlist going around that is dictating what is hot and should be played ( I need to get that list)? We Caribbean people can be pretty harsh when you play the wrong song or riddim so how are you guys testing waters? I normally play 70s - early 2000's when I play but this new stuff, I don't know. I'm trying to keep up but it is a TON of work. To me it's the hardest genre to keep up with.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Secret Caribbean Society?
PMYSKO 7:44 PM - 17 February, 2018
I go to BBM channel for Riddims,
