EVENT/PERFORMANCE REVIEW: SOCA OR DIE 2011

Soca or Die (November 5, 2011) - Patrons attend Dr. Jay's Birthday Party, Soca or Die in Toronto anticipating a plethora of World-class Soca music with an international flair, and with past guest artist i.e. – Kes the Band, Destra, Rupee, Edwin Yearwood, Problem Child, to name a few who all touched the stage, lit it up and brought the positive energy that thrives in Soca music. This year's anticipation was at a new high while the crowd was anxious to see who would come and elevate them in musical bliss... DJ BIG RED AND BUNJI GARLIN a.k.a. iPresidential who both hit the stage with a fury of lyrics and the swagger to match!








The fete transformed and the pace changed as Soca embraced Electro. Bringing that rhythmic South Beach (Miami) sound, DJ Crown Prince and Barrie Hype energized the crowd with live remixing of popular Soca songs riding Electro BPMs with its distinctive effects. Popular songs like Lil Rick - Jones n Wukkup, Denise Belfon - Dance and Dingoley, Busy Signal - Touch Road, and others were masterfully meshed in a presentation that one could say was revolutionary. Then; BOOM! Kes’ new electro infused song “Precision Wine” hits the crowd – Toronto wasn’t ready. DJ Crown Prince and Barrie Hype had everyone in a trance with females chanting lyrics and males bouncing to the beat. Their set erupted, releasing that missing element and giving each eardrum a sample; the DJ evolves into the artist. All Djs played amazing sets! I left the event very pleased and happy with the experience of the night! I can't wait until next year! Happy birthday Dr Jay!
