The New Year has arrived and so has Soca Season! What better way to kick of 2013 than with over 70 of  Machel Montano’s hits in one mix from Brooklyn-based Close Connections. Machel Montano has been in the soca business since he was a child and he has a back catalogue of over 30 years of hits. If you need a crash course in soca this mix is a pretty good start, as it features examples of both groovy and power soca. Machel won both the Groovy Soca and Power Soca prizes at the International Soca Monarch competition last year and we are expecting big things from him this year too.
