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!

OLDIES SUNDAY: @MachelMontano – Too Young To Soca (1986)

Posted on by swadedavillain

As we come to a close of the month of May being “Child’s Month“, we’d like to highlight one more star whose career started in their youth. Today’s Oldies Sunday selection comes from Soca Legend Machel Montano with the track, “Too Young To Soca“!

Produced by Eddy Grant and released in 1986 through the Ice Label, this song featured Machel Montano at the age of 9. With high energy production, Machel commanded the track with the prowess of a veteran. He expressed his love for Soca Music, and dared to defied people’s opinions of his being too young to Soca. He wants to sing, he wants to jam, so let him be! “Too Young To Soca” quickly catapulted Machel Montano to stardom, and opened up a lane for him to enjoy a career that has spanned well over 30 years. “Too Young To Soca” was featured on his 1985 4 track album of the same name.

As the month comes to an end, we’d like to ask all the parents or soon to be parents one thing, please protect the children! There are so many kids with promise and potential, and society finds a way to shatter their hopes and aspirations. Protect the yutes!

thank you machel montano for this classic!

Masters At Work Ft. Puppah Nas-T & Denise Belfon - Work on 13thStreetPromotions.com #TrinidadandTobago #DeniseBelfon #Shenseea #MegantheeStallion #Lick #Caribbean #PutYourBackInItChallenge #Soca #HouseMusic #13thStreetPromotions #SaucyWow #DJFlex #PutYourBackInIt #NewYork

OLDIES SUNDAY: Denise Belfon Ft. MAW & Puppah Nas-T – Work (2001)

Posted on by swadedavillain

You know we had to do this. Today’s Oldies Sunday selection will be a little spicy as we take trips to Trinidad and Tobago and New York to check out MAW a.k.a. Masters At Work, Puppah Nas-T, and Denise “Saucy Wow” Belfon’s “Work“.

Produced by MAW (a.k.a. Kenny Dope and Little Louie Vega) and Puppah Nas-T and released through MAW Records and Tommy Boy Records, “Work” features Soca Artist Denise Belfon, who is the lead vocalist on the track. Listeners would be invited a showcase of double entendres as Denise is need of someone who would take their “broom” to “sweep her yard” with emphasis on “put yuh back in it“, and “going downtown“. The song features a mix of House Music and Calypso sounds, which provides an enjoyable listen (a guilty pleasure for those who have a thing for double entendres and suggestive lyrics).

“Work” was a successful single for MAW, Puppah Nas-T, and Densie Belfon as the track charted high on the Billboard Dance Club Songs Chart peaking at #7. “Work” was popular in various countries including the US, South Africa, Brazil, and various Caribbean countries including Trinidad and Tobago. “Work” would enjoy a long shelf life thanks to various remixes of the track done by Global Deejays and Danny Marquez, Theo Schwarz, Riffs and Rays, and others. A remix of “Work” done by DJ Flex and Equiknoxx in 2019 became a viral sensation on Social Media thanks to various wining videos made for it on TikTok, Twitter, and Instagram. On January 21, 2022, “Work” would be given more life again thanks to Dancehall Artist Shenseea, US Rapper Megan Thee Stallion, and US Producer Murda Beatz sampling it for the controversial single, “Lick“. Where will “Work” find itself next?

THANK YOU MAW, PUPPAH NAS-T, AND DENISE BELFON FOR THIS CLASSIC!

OLDIES SUNDAY: Baron – Auld Lang Syne (1997)

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s Boxing Day part 1! We hope you all had a great Christmas Day filled with unity, laughs, good food, and gifts. We’re giving an Oldies Sunday selection for the final time in 2021. We thank you for giving it some support, and we look forward to even more in 2022. In true New Year fashion, we bring to you Trini legend Baron and his track, “Auld Lang Syne“.

Produced by Julian Williams and released through JW Productions in 1997, Baron gives us some Soca vibes with his version of the classic “Auld Lang Syne“. A song that helps to ring in the new year, Baron brings in some backup singers for a performance that goes very well with your favourite drink, and good people (via Zoom because we’re still social distancing). The track was featured on Baron’s “Christmas With The Baron” album which was also released in 1997. We hope you enjoyed 2021 despite all the madness that happened throughout. May 2022 be even better, and we stay safe and successful. Thanks for being a part of the Blog!

Maestro Don x D'Yani x Nailah Blackman - Senorita (Remix) on 13thStreetPromotions.com

.@MaestroDonMusic & @TrulyDyani Enlist @NailahBlackMan For The “Senorita (Remix)”

Posted on by swadedavillain

After keeping the streets and Social Media buzzing with the original “Senorita“, Dancehall Artists Maestro Don and D’Yani have been on a high. With millions of views gained for the official Music Video, fans around the world were keeping the single alive for months, and requesting more. Maestro Don has fulfilled that request as he makes a Jamaica/Trinidad link up with the inclusion of Soca Singer Nailah Blackman for the official “Senorita (Remix)“.

Originally produced by KevStar Records, Maestro Don and D’Yani crafted a great single for all the Senoritas with the banging bodies. Adding Nailah Blackman to the mix just makes for a bigger hit single as she gives us a splash of sexiness, and her signature vocals. With a Music Video shot by Hi Esteem Agency, we see Maestro and Nailah trade lines in a Hotel before shifting to her hanging out with her girls at the beach, while D’Yani brings it back to nature with his lovely lady close by. The original single has been doing some damage, and we expect the remix to turn up the vibes even more!
