39 Days To Go--Familiarize Yourself!



Source

Carnival season is in full swing in Trinidad. Soca music is playing everywhere and fete's are taking place every weekend.. Here in Brooklyn though, aside from a few radio stations playing some new tunes, life is pretty stagnant. In order to infuse the carnival vibes into my everyday I keep the soca tunes playing in my car, in my house, while I work out, when I am sitting in my office, whenever I can!  My favorite DJ, Private Ryan,  has made my day with this preview of the soca tunes for 2012 courtesy of themixfeed.com.  39 days until I leave for carnival .... pace!

Well people the time is near! Trinidad's Carnival is fast approaching and although I will only be there in spirit I am constantly listening and searching for new music! Private Ryan must have felt my energy because he recently released a new 2011 Soca  DJ mix. I listened to the whole thing while cleaning my house yesterday and wined down low, jumped up high, chipped, and jooked the whole time.

If Soca is not your thing or you are just looking for some music to work out to DJ Private Ryan has a mix for you too! I was listening to Body Heat 3 The Fist Pump Edition just to get a feel for it and I liked it. I am going to definitely have this on heavy rotation on my I-Pod once jogging season commences (any non-winter season).

Tunes, tunes, tunes...

"I need new island music, give me tune titles! And I can't trust you with R&B we don't like the same thing. I like class, you like trash...lol". That's the bbm message I received from my cousin a day ago. Random, I know. Despite my cousins brazen request I immediately racked my brain to think of a great resource to give her. Private Ryan! I love this DJ. His mixes are always on point and he has time and time again shown his versatility. Case in point, one of his latest editions The Best of 2010 Mega Mix.
