Who remembers this one?☝🏽Throwback to the first mix CD I ever made. Don’t remember what year it was, but maybe I should make an updated version of this mix. Thoughts? 💭 Let me know in the comments👇🏽

NEW MIX ALERT 🚨 MEMORIES OF SPICEMAS 🇬🇩

NOW Available for streaming on SoundCloud, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube!

I can’t believe it’s been 8 months since my last mix. Shame, shame! The plan was to record this mix after getting back from Spicemas, but things got busy.

Finally got around to recording it early last week. It’s a mix of songs I heard a lot while in Grenada 🇬🇩 that capture the vibe, energy, and fun memories of my first experience at Spicemas.

The visual on YouTube contains personal footage from 2 Jouvert’s and Monday Night Mas.

Follow me on SoundCloud, Apple Podcasts and YouTube. Like and leave a comment. Let me know what you think. ☺️🇬🇩

Who’s ready for Spicemas 2025? 😀
