DJ Private Ryan's Podcast

VISIT Trinidad is a mix that features strictly music from Trinidad for the Carnival 2023 season. One hour of the bangers mixed by Dj Private Ryan

The return to Trinidad and Tobago for carnival is upon us and there is a lot of music that has been released so far. It was very challenging making this edition of Soca Starter as there is so much music released at this point. As a result Soca Starter is a bit longer this time but this is a GREAT guide on what to expect. This is not all the great music that is out but learn and enjoy these first and then Soca Brainwash will take care of the rest. Enjoy!!!

Was cruising through some music the other night and decided to make a new series. Just an eclectic blend of music, no talking, less drops and sound effects. Great for a lounge vibe and is mid paced as oppsoed to the Press Play series. Take a listen and enjoy!!
