.@Audiomack & @AudiomackCarib Launch “Made In Caribbean” Playlist Series To Showcase Homegrown Talent

Posted on by swadedavillain

Digital music streaming giant Audiomack continues to set trends when it comes to highlighting quality music, and showcasing talented creators from around the world. The Audiomack world is filled with original content that has found favor with old and new users of the platform, and they continue to make their mark as the go-to streaming platform to build fanbases, and release unique content. They look to expand their dominance with the launch of their new Playlist series, “Made In Caribbean”.

“Made In Caribbean” is a quarterly new series that seeks to exhibit the ever-evolving style of the Caribbean Artist, the music genres that emerge from the Caribbean, and the DJs who are responsible for breaking these Artists and sounds. Derived from the success of Audiomack’s specially-curated Playlists, “Made In Caribbean” is the brainchild of Tanya Lawson, Director of Audiomack’s Strategic Marketing for the Caribbean and Gospel Music division, and is focused on putting the best on display. With 25 Islands to choose from, Audiomack will select a top DJ from each Island, who will then curate a Playlist that features homegrown talent. 

“Made In Caribbean” promises to bring an extra boost to the local music industry, encouraging more Artists to go back to their roots when creating and representing the global stage. Top selectors from the Caribbean including Jamaica’s Boom Boom, DJ Spade from Turks & Caicos, Trinidad’s DJ Echo, Rusty G from Bermuda, and TroopahLive From the Virgin Islands, Guyana’s PriinceMuzik, DJ Quest from Antigua, and Haiti’s Michael Brun have been recruited, and are gearing up to launch their respective Playlists featuring their handpicked Artists.

The new “Made In Caribbean” Playlist series makes its debut today on Audiomack.com with the first 8 Playlists, with 5 more premiering in the followup quarters. Follow @AudiomackCaribbean on Instagram, and @AudiomackCarib on Twitter to stay up to date with new updates and developments.

OLDIES SUNDAY (Christmas): Red Plastic Bag – Maizie

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s the last Sunday before Christmas Day, and we hope you aren’t under immense pressure to get presents for everyone. It’s also another Oldies Sunday, and we have another selection that plays in the theme of the season. We take a trip to Barbados to check out Red Plastic Bag’s “Maizie“!

Produced by Mc Donald Fingall and released through the Pond Side label, Red Plastic Bag had to deliver something special for the holiday season. The song is a take on a classic Christmas song, but with Red’s signature twist as he speaks on the character “Maizie” who has been caught kissing Santa Claus. The story gets interesting as Maizie is being approached with questions about the man she’s kissing to see if it’s really Santa, or her secret lover. The drama-filled song became a popular since its release, and remains a favourite among Bajans, and listeners from around the world during Christmas time. Red Plastic Bag is a multi-year Soca Monarch King, and is one of the Icons of Calypso/Soca in the Caribbean.

Next Sunday is Christmas Day, save us a seat at the table.

.@VoiceTheArtiste Makes A Dedication To The Culture With “Long Live Soca”!

Posted on by swadedavillain

When people say “Do it for the Culture“, some treat it like a trend that lasts for a couple weeks, while others dedicate their lives to it. The Caribbean is home to many genres of music that have influenced the World over, and Soca Artist Voice wants to make a dedication to the culture with the track, “Long Live Soca“!

Produced by Nikholai Greene/BadJohn Republic, Voice gets into the zone when he shares his love for Soca Music. It’s more than the Costumes, it’s more than the dancing, it’s more than the yearly events, it’s a way of life! Soca and Carnival have an extensive and rich history, and lovers and participants worldwide should celebrate them every chance they get. Voice does a solid job here, and we expect the dedications to emerge like Covid 19 becoming a pandemic in a short time. Wave your rags, wave your flags, and unite for the culture!

OLDIES SUNDAY: Burning Flames – Swing Engine (1994)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Somewhere out there, there’s some Soca Music blaring through some speakers. For today’s Oldies Sunday selection, we’re taking a trip to Antigua. We highlight Soca Band Burning Flames’ “Swing Engine“.

Produced and arranged by Burning Flames Productions and released in 1994, “Swing Engine” was made for the ladies who knew how to dazzle and hypnotize, and were built for speed with what they got! A song that showcased a new era of modern Soca Music in the Caribbean, Burning Flames’ “Swing Engine” quickly became a hit for the band. The song’s cleverly written lyrics, heavy production, and storytelling elements made it a classic, and is still in heavy rotation today. “Swing Engine” or sometimes called “Swinging Engine” was featured on Burning Flames’ 1994 album, “Klatye“. “Swing Engine” has also been covered by School bands around the Caribbean, most recently by a Cadet Band in Manchester, Jamaica.

Since the release of “Swing Engine”, Burning Flames went on to make more hits, score more album releases, and influenced future generations of Soca Artist before going through lineup changes over the years. No matter what the band did, “Swing Engine” is still one of the band’s biggest singles.

Thank You Burning Flames For This Classic!
