IslandMix - Soca, Reggae, Zouk and Caribbean Entertainment

what record stores in the New York area do your frequent for Soca albums?

None! If I need something tho I check JW and if dey eh have it see if ah geh lucky by Charlies.

Why none?

Most artists give me promotional copies of their material long before it's released so by time album come around I usually have the songs.

Ditto that.

What the artists don't give me I get directly from producers who most often urge me to share it with the DJs in my circle.

I second that

Not to mention that the record stores usually dont have all of the stuff

any dj's remember "caribbean music brokers" one place you could get stuff that them other record stores aint have

I remember goin to JW looking for songs that were "hot" sometimes I end up waiting a year to get the blasted song, didnt make any sense (not sayin it was jw's fault on things like that).

Then the other thing was, "oh that was only released in Trinidad"

Usually the big boys were easy to get they almost always had their stuff available in the record stores.

but most of the time in a soca record store you never get everything you wanted.

So Ms. Fantasy if youre looking for an answer from back in the day then:

Strakers
JW
Caribbean Music Brokers (no longer around)

but as of right now it's like scorpion said.
