In case you were too busy Rockin The Bells or Makin [it] In America to partake in New York's West Indian Carnival over Labor Day weekend, doh worry. LargeUp has bottled the Parkway vibes and concentrated the day-long festivities into a 1-hour   mix by master-blender D-Life, using a complicated double-distillation process that involves soaking Trini-colored panties in rum, lighting them on fire and waving them over your head like a helicopter.
