SPIN D MUSIC celebrates 4 years of Soca, Reggae and Dancehall in Sydney Fete!

4 years ago we started off from a house party with no records, limited music, no DJ knowledge nor experience, no computer, had no idea what an mp3 file was (seriously) only just a few friends....

4 years later we're pushing the Soca & Dancehall music harder than hard, making our annual return to Trinidad & Tobago to represent Australia at the greatest carnival on earth and with the belief that anything can happen once we put our minds to it.

But this journey has been quite adventurous, demanding, exhausting and definitely not an easy one, but above all most enjoyable and rewarding because of all our supporters who share the same passion for Caribbean music like we do.

So for this I got to personally thank everyone who came down to mark 4 years of SPIN D MUSIC! I also have to thank our principal sponsors Bacardi, Malibu Rum, Jackson's on George and TRIBE Carnival Trinidad!

Photos are now posted.....enjoy!

EC

APR 18th 2008

It's been brought to my attention that there are people fraudulently advertising SPIN D MUSIC on their flyers and promotional material. If you don't see an event posted on www.spindmusic.com then it's not an event endorsed by SDM. .

Hey guys, waddup? It's past midnight I'm just chilling out but got lots of updates and bigups to talk about. Our next event is "Reggae-Mite.....Spread it Twice". For those who were there at the first Reggae-Mite....it probably will go down as our most memorable event to date...we literally had over 500 people jam packed in Luna Lounge which tripped off the air-condition...it felt like a sauna. Get ready for #2 on FRI 28th SEP @ Jacksons with guest DJs and our 2nd Annual Miss Reggae-Mite contest....should be good fun.

Plus on SAT 27TH OCT it's all about "REVERSE DI TING"...SDM's APPRECIATION Party for all our supporters. I've always wanted to have one of these to give back to our loyal supporters who've been to every event and enjoy the vibes we bring. Make sure you are on our email list or email me at emperor.chin@spindmusic.com to make sure you get my personal invitation for this fete. I'll have more updates soon, but all I can say is that we're on a rooftop for a night of wicked, wicked, wicked vibes.....

What a wicked night of pure vibes @ Sydney's Dancehall Queen contest last Friday at Make It Clap! I feel quite privileged to have been part of the DJ crew and holding down some serious vibes. I've recorded the night and you can catch some of the high lights of the night on our SDM podcast page. The mix is about one hour long and I guarantee you will enjoy it.

Congratulations goes out to Amy (hope I got your name correct) for a superb piece of dancing there with the splits not once, not twice but four times in one performance! She came out of no where with a dress looked for salsa and just dropped it rough which had the crowd in a frenzy! Big up to all the other contestants for stepping up and showcasing all of Sydney's talents. You can also check our multimedia page for a video clip of Amy's dances during the night.

What a wicked night last night at Caribbean Thursdays at Jackson's on George. Bless up to Suzanna and Geera, two Torontonians who came down to check out the SPIN D MUSIC experience. Boy it was vibesing with pure reggae & soca till 3 am....it's Caribana time in Toronto, but tonight was their Caribana Thursday doing the Jumbie, Bicycle Wine, geenie wine upstairs inside pool bar at Jacksons. They leave Sydney this Saturday and head to Toronto to be in time for "Carnival in Yuh Backyard #4"...so at least we've put them in the mood.

July 29th2007

First and foremost, thanks to all the supporters who took in IGNITE - The Fire Fete! It was a new concept for us with fire and lighters....something very Caribbean. The highlight for most people appeared to be the flames and d_cor and the music....yup I like the Akon remix too! It's flattening the world with the soca remix. For the dancehall purist, next time we'll drop the dutch pot riddim! For the cricket crew recently in the West Indies, we know you had a great time....pics should be up within the week, but again my personal thanks to all 400 of you guys and Jackson's for taking Caribbean culture higher than high.

----------------

July 26th2007

Alright well a quick message to say we're getting ready for IGNITE tomorrow night, but it's all about Jackson's on George for Caribbean Thursday tonight. We usually finish up around 2 am, and then we're back to set up for the event tomorrow night, so it's going to be a rough 24 hrs

Well guys by the time you read this it's officially done, the new SDM website has been uploaded, otherwise you won't be reading this (ha ha ha). This was my promise to you to bring you the latest in Caribbean music, news and entertainment. So phase one is complete.

My pledge to all the Soca and Dancehall fanatics in Australia and supporters world wide will always be to present and represent Caribbean culture as it should be on a higher than high level, so that you get the Ultimate Caribbean Experience.

This site is still evolving but we've put a customised soca and dancehall juke box for your listening pleasure. It's not downloadable and is streaming at the lowest quality not ideal for cds. We don't believe in piracy and you can obtain most of the music from cd vendors as linked on our website. Please buy original materials.

Weve also added our SDM multimedia with videos from all our experiences and soon we will have a YOU TUBE section to bring you more videos worldwide... it's just our way of bring Soca and Dancehall another step closer to the surface.

June 252007

So I told my friends about my vision to create the Dynasty and the passion to push Soca Music all the way to the top and they said, "so who are you now, the Emperor Chin?" Hmmmm!!!! So said, so done. Now it's official we're calling it the SPIN D MUSIC Dynasty and The Emperor Chin... I liking it!!!

----------------

June 202007

Well boy, people all the way from Toronto, Canada sending me emails saying what's up with the site, like you'll not promoting the Soca scene anymore? Crazy emails from Amsterdam asking about the next fete? What's our schedule? More mixed tapes and the list goes on and on?

That's when I realised that we could never let the people down. All the people who like their Soca and Dancehall music, all the Australian massives who check out our website for their source of music, for the latest in everything...

So we're building the SPIN D MUSIC dynasty as the source for Caribbean Music in Australia and let the legacy live on that the Ultimate Caribbean Experience lies here with the best fetes and music.
