Posted on February 10, 2016 by swadedavillain

Lifestyle Blogger ShannyDeLioness is back for another week of “Mixtape Rave“! This week she serves you an array of Mixtapes she’s been feeling over the past 7 days. If you missed the previous installments, check them out here.

1. Ruppinz Volume 2 Part 1 – ZJ Liquid

ZJ Liquid is one of the undisputed Kings of Radio! If you know the Popcaan song that shares its name with this mix, you definitely have an idea of what you are in for once you press play. He fittingly kicks this Dancehall mix off with a song that probably best describes his status as a “Big League” DJ.

2. Soca Brainwash 2016 – DJ Private Ryan

DJ Private Ryan is a household name for a reason. Soca Brainwash was the perfect last lap mix for the “Greatest Show” on earth. It was the soundtrack of choice for a recent road trip and has been a go to mix for the past week!

NEW MUSIC: @Rihanna x @Drake – Work (@IAmPlateface Dub)

Posted on January 30, 2016 by swadedavillain

Rihanna had “Navy” Twitter in a frenzy when she released her 8th studio album, “Anti“. With a first single featuring Drake titled “Work“, Acmatic’s own Plateface decided to add some touches to the Boi1da produced track. Here he gave it a more Dancehall feel to compliment Rihanna’s delivery. This version sounds like something that if Rihanna’s people are watching (crosses fingers), they could use in a Jamaican street dance themed music video. Loved the original? Then check out this new version below and share your thoughts in the comments section.

1. The Short Mixtape – DJ Din X 1NE Don Sound

A mix of Dancehall and Hip Hop’s hottest tunes and Riddims as well as a some dubs by the Gaza Boss, Vybz Kartel. This mix is short but hits the mark!

2. End of Year Hits. Remembering 2015 – Radio Mix – DJ Kam Bennett

I have my brother to thank for my full on re-introduction to Hip Hop. I have found myself pausing from my Soca binges to take in the occasional Hip Hop mix and this one by DJ Kam Bennett from Minnestoa is definitely a go to for me. He masterfully takes you through 2015’s best offerings.

1. Soca Synergy: Trinidad Carnival Starter Pack Vol. 2 – DJ Captain John

I literally have been listening to this mix EVERY DAY for the past few weeks since I downloaded it. I have officially dubbed it my “Jamaica Carnival Starter Pack” mix. When I went to Mas Camp last Friday, I knew EVERY 2016 Soca song out of Trinidad (except the recent releases) thanks to DJ Captain John and this mix.

2. Soca Exposure (2016 Carnival Preview)- DJ Lantern MD

I sit and wait for DJ Lantern MD’s Soca mixes EVERY YEAR and I am never disappointed… this mix is no different. In this mix he has not only Trinidad releases but also Bajan Soca and my favourite song out of Grenada Carnival 2015! Nonstop vibes!

1. Epiphany Promo Mix – Team Energy Overload (Colombian x DJ Captain John)

This Mixtape is straight out of Vincy! One of St. Vincent & the Grenadines’ hottest teams puts their musical genius into this 28 mins party promo mix. Mixed by DJ Captain John and hosted by Colombian, it is the perfect sample of what promises to be an amazing showing by the duo in St. Lucia this weekend.

2. I Love Soca, Jamaica Promo Mix – Lord Hype

This promo mix is the preview of what patrons should expect on December 26 at Hope Gardens. Lord Hype (straight out of Trinidad) delivers a high energy Soca mix featuring some of the hottest 2015 Soca releases! This mix has me well ready for I Love Soca!

1. URBVN EVRGVSM VOL II – DJ Dono V

His calm demeanor is no telltale as to what he can do with a turntable. DJ Dono V is a young gun who is packing some serious DJing ammo and this mix is just an extension of his crowd rocking club DJing skills.

2. CHILL END OF 2015 – Ruan Legend of Dei Musicale

Some of 2015’s best hits found their way on this mix by ½ of the Trinidadian Musical Gods’ Dei Musicale. My favourite tracks are the Black Chiney x Sizzla Kalonji “Hotline Bling” Remix and of course Major Lazer x DJ Snake’s “Lean On”.
