## Resource

In this episode, I sit down with DJ, creative and former Late Night Par co-host Fatalic for a deep conversation about Jamaican party culture, DJs, dancehall, soca and the way Jamaican audiences consume music. We talk about why some parties never “turn the corner,” the disconnect between DJs and patrons, why Jamaica can be such a difficult crowd, whether audiences truly want different music, and how dancehall has changed in the streaming era.
