Veteran producer Dennis Johnson has brought together an eclectic mix of talent for his latest project, “Soca Jam” EP, a carnival-inspired collection released via Finatic Records on July 11th. Known for his historic work with reggae legends like Bob Andy, Freddy McGregor, Capleton and Dennis Brown, Johnson shifts gears with this colorful soca compilation. The EP includes four tracks: “Soca Jam” by Grub Cooper of Fab5, “Caribbean Ting” by Mr Easy, “Roll Your Waist” by Honorebel, and a remix of that same track featuring Ackah Dan.

While Grub Cooper’s inclusion feels like a natural fit—given his role in Fab5’s classic soca anthems like “All Night Party” and “Feeling Horny”—the arrival of Mr Easy and Honorebel, both more familiar to dancehall audiences, brings a surprising but refreshing twist. Their tracks showcase a smooth blend of Caribbean genres, signaling a new direction while staying rooted in festive, high-energy vibes.

So far, the response has been upbeat. All four songs are picking up steam on streaming platforms, with no clear frontrunner—each track holds breakout potential. With this release, “Soca Jam” proves that genre-crossing experiments, when done right, can feel both bold and seamless. Click here to download “Soca Jam” EP from your preferred music platform.
