We dig into the claim that Bajan bashment soca peaked in 2018 to 2019 and ask what it would take to bring that energy back without freezing the sound. We weigh nostalgia against evolution, get thoughts from DJ Kai, and call out the DJ habits and scene-building work that can push Bajan soca forward.
• DJ Puffy’s comment on the 2018 to 2019 peak
• DJ Kai’s take on evolution plus support for Bajan soca
• Why DJs repeat “guaranteed” songs and how sets get stale
• The case for balance between new soca and classics
• UK DJs and crews consistently pushing Bajan music
• April carnival calendar shoutouts including Jamaica Carnival and St Maarten
