Just wanna give a special shout out to all our local DJs and MCs ya'll really put in work and pushed the Soca hard this year, this season felt really special
Hope the foreign promoters know to fly unu out to all the Carnival dem
Now that Trinidad has concluded, it's full speed ahead for Jamaica and I just wanna let ppl know
🎵I not going no fake fete let me extend my sympathies
Only Soca Fetes with Soca Songs playing all night like Symphonies 🎵
A strange comparison but last night reminded me of I Love Soca, not current ILS but back in the day Hope Gardens I Love Soca, when it was still growing

Back to this, you know that one set of songs we complain get played too much, they didn't play them for most of the night but when they finally did we were so hyped because we forgot they existed and that's how it should be, unpredictable and exciting
Listen me
All yuh
Unnu
Wunna
Sunn-Up is a must go, no questions asked
this is not a sponsored post cuz they ain't give me nothing, it was worth every dollar spent and more
Even without the addition of Bunji and Fayann's excellent performance, see you next year
Well I guess that's a wrap on Soca parties for a while...wait, Soca Moca is Saturday, then BPM next week...then Hard Fete
Well no rest for us Soca purists I guess

Can never forget this, after 2 hours of every other artist telling the crowd he can't win because he's not Trini, he came out to the loudest reaction of the night and sung himself to victory

Night Carnival - Review
Key points
The music was mostly good but went full Dancehall later in the night
Venue was good, packed but you were able to move around
Parking was a little expensive and there was an issue with the shuttle
Overall a good staging, would recommend
Detailed:
Also shout out to anyone who helped us push this year, whether you shared the Calendar, a Review, liked a tweet or whatever else it really helped us out
So because I clearly don't like myself I've added a new column for DJs/MCs so if you want to search which event has your favourite DJs you can do so now
ASH Jouvert Review
Another long one, apologies
So this fete had a really good start, a not so good middle due to some technical issues and a decent end
Overall it wasn't the best night, not the worst by any stretch just could have been done better
I'm hoping the Engine Room riddim section thing catches on cuz I find for a song to last for years out here it has to have some kind of hook, like Palance stayed popular so long because of the movement, just like Duckin, Circles etc
