This is what I love about having my own blog. I get to put thousands of people (ok, dozens) onto some raging music they may have never heard of. As you may or may not know, I'm originally from the Caribbean, where Soca (pronounced Soe-Kah) music plays a big part of daily life. If you've never heard of the term, Soca originated in Trinidad & Tobago, and is basically an evolution of Calypso music, complete with horns, steel drums and light synths. And l ike Jamaica's Dancehall music, Soca artists tend to share the same Riddims (instrumentals), but will each [...]
Do you ever get nostalgic for those music videos where a band chronicles hard-living and loving on the road? Well, snappy pop rockers Pet Lions don't go all " Every Rose Has its Thorn " on us, but they do take us on a fun romp across various hotel rooms, desolate highway views with endless bales of hay and - oh yeah - some rock and roll, on its latest single "Trinidad." It makes you want to pack a bag, cram yourself and some friends into a tiny vehicle and somehow take a trip [...]

am feeling pretty damned ill today, so ill try to keep this short.. am trying to pep myself up as well, so i'll also try and keep it festive. sometimes i feel like bottin 's style of disco errs a little on the heavy-handed house side of things.. at other times i feel like it is just perfect. after listening to "bottin's coup d'etat" mix of his track "discocracy", my bottin-o-meter is definitely leaning more toward the "just perfect" side. nothing too subtle or challenging here, just a whole [...]

Infectious bit of disco carrying on from the Steel Funk vibe I've been digging. Big hitter for Lerry Levan and the pioneering turntablists of the time. Can't find a digital copy of this or any comp with it on, will cost you at least £40 online. If anyone knows where it can be found cheaper or whether it's on a comp, drop me a line.
In West Indian culture the term wotless is usually ascribed to someone behaving in a manner that would bring shame and disgust to themselves, their family, or bystanders who are willing to join in with eye rolls and teeth sucking. But even though it's impolite, we identify with the wotless state of mind that Kes [...]

All over the world right now multi-generational shops of women are ordering feathers, sequins and spandex from China, preparing costumes for Karnaval/Carnaval/Carnival cruising season. In those sewing rooms they're probably setting stitching pace against the sounds of the flood of Soca chunes being recorded and released in anticipation of this year's parties and parades. This [...]
As I stepped out of my building in Toronto, immediately a sub zero wind cut through every layer of clothing on my body one question hit my mind with profound urgency: what the fuck am I doing here? I went to Trinidad this winter.

Righty o In the flurry of summer, The Noise Collective has been neglected, and we're all sorry, but I doubt anyone had enough time this summer to dance onto our measly page, with good weather and better festivals popping up from here to Timbuktu. BUT we're back on the wagon and there's enough new music [...]

Nervous Inc. 363 Seventh Avenue 16th Floor New York NY 10001 USA C'est vrai que la plupart du temps, dès qu'on me fait découvrir un label de musique électronique (ou autre) en me le présentant avec des mots tels que meilleur label (introduire ici tout style de musique ou sous-genre obscur) de tous les temps , label IMPORTANT ou encore il faut tout écouter de ce qui est sorti sur ce label , j'ai tendance à m'enfuir en courant.
