On the 75th anniversary of Windrush, carnival returns to the streets of Notting Hill this bank holiday. A couple of million will take in the mas dancing, steelpan bands, soundsystems and everything from soca, calypso, hip-hop and dub through to drum’n’bass.
Here’s a selection of 300 NEW tunes you may hear on the streets of Notting Hill. Obviously, Carnival will always have those classic tracks that never fail to get the crowds jumping but this blog has always been dedicated to new music so this playlist is strictly tracks from 2023 (with a few from 2020 onwards that I can’t bring myself to delete).
Any tunes that I’ve criminally missed off the list..? Let me know and I’ll add them.
