CD 101.1 Island Riddims at Barrios, Coumbus Ohio

Been looking for Caribbean music on the radio? Well good luck if you are scanning the dial . It’s not easy here in the mid west but it isn’t impossible easy. Columbus is definitely getting steadily more diverse and the unique contribution of the Caribbean community is playing its role. At least for 2 hour a week there is one place you can hear a little Soca, Calypso and Reggae tunes.

Dj Trevor has been spinning every Sunday night from 7pm- 9pm non stop and without fail for years now. The blend is usually about 70% Reggae and Reggae Dancehall and 20% Soca and Calypso with a bit of Reggaeton and Afro pop mixxed in. The Island Riddims crew is comprised of Clifton Hardy , Trevor Hall aka DJ Trevor and Theresa Woldeab.

So what’s new with Island Riddims ? Well…. starting this month of November the show will be broadcast life from one of downtown’s hippest after work spots Barrio Tapas Lounge. Dj Trevor and Producer Clifton Hardy of Sunbury entertainment will be bringing live “Island Riddims” both to patrons and to the entire greater Columbus airwaves from 7-9pm every Sunday evening.

Not only can you hear them on the radio but they have added a new feature called Island Riddims on Di Go . Call 614.358.2920 and you can hear Island Riddims broadcast through your cell phone . That should be interesting to say the least. Call up and “Big up” Columbus Caribbean while you are at it…
