Body Beat: Soca-Dub And Electronic Calypso (1979-1998) is a jaw-dropping compilation that takes you on a wild ride through the vibrant world of Caribbean music. From the infectious grooves of Soca to the experimental sounds of electronic Calypso, this album is a treasure trove of sonic delights.

The tracks featured on this compilation range from the more traditional Calypso sounds of artists like Shadow and Winston Bailey, to the futuristic electronic beats of producers like Andre Tanker and Brother Resistance. Each track is a fascinating look into the evolution of Caribbean music over the course of two decades.

One standout track on the album is "Trinidad" by The Millers, a pulsating Soca anthem that will have you dancing for days. The infectious rhythms and catchy hooks make this track an instant classic that will leave you craving more.

Another highlight is "Rapso Take Over" by Brother Resistance, a groundbreaking track that blends Calypso with spoken word poetry to create a unique and powerful sound. The raw energy and passion in Resistance's voice will send shivers down your spine.
