anyone got a good pool/source that has charts or trends for reggae/soca?
DJ Barz 10:35 PM - 11 July, 2019
SO what's good this summer for Soca and Dancehall. We're deep into summer now, anything you guys think is gonna blow.

I'm a big fan of Polo by Hot Frass and I think Cups Up by Govana is gonna keep growing.
DJ Barz 10:36 PM - 11 July, 2019
Also World Party Riddim is a bit cheesy but it reminds me of Party Animal a bit so I think it might do good.

Bro we get it. Please stop spamming us. Contribute with songs or chill out.


With that being said:

hows the Chronixx and Koffee remix of I Don't Care working for you all?

I'm saying, man... the few threads that I'm still subscribed to it's this guy spamming it, telling us that he "finally" tied his shoes. Nobody cares, it's a site full of DJs and this is a thread itself full of DJs who have made hundreds of Carribean mixes. Contribute first, then link a mix if it's new.

Working well for me. I don't like the original, but I have a mixed crowd (70% Dancehall and some pop tarts that show up for the regular Billboard shit) and it pleases both crowds. The Chronixx part is nice but when Koffee's verse hits, people really realize it's a remix. It's a good chune to lead into a genre switch.
