Look, we don’t know a massive amount about Soca here at FACT, but our friends at the Heatwave do.

They’re throwing a Carnival party this Thursday, and as such have compiled a (basically essential) mix, titled Soca Season 2011, of their favourite recent Carnival jams. You can hear it below, and check out details for their party here.
