My first six trips to Japan were a struggle. Culture shock, language barriers, and anxiety made it feel like being thrown into a fire. Now, I'm sharing how I navigated it.

WHERE THE FLYAHS? 👀
Reggae · Dancehall · Soca · 23 years of New England receipts

The all-time chart dropped and the Boss DJ Warlock is sitting on 427. But some legends are missing from the record, and we're calling names.

RIDDIM RIDER — 32 flyers on the board. Everybody knows the vault is deeper than that. Where the flyahs? 🔊

MEGA TECH — ZERO. Not one flyer in 23 years of archive. Somebody's shoebox is holding history hostage. Where the flyahs? 💾

MADMAN CHARLIE — 5 flyers, spread across four different spellings. Five? For Madman Charlie? Come on. Where the flyahs? 🎙️

EARTHFORCE — 8 flyers in 23 years. Eight? The whole of New England knows that sound strung up more than eight times. Where the flyahs? 🌍

The board goes back to February 2003. If you played it, promoted it, or still have the flyer on your fridge, it belongs on FLYAHS. The chart only counts what's on the board, and the board doesn't lie.

Sound systems chart is coming next. Get your dates in before it drops, or don't ask why you're not on it. 👀

Tag Riddim Rider, Mega Tech, Madman Charlie, and Earthforce. Tag the promoter who still has the box. 👇🏾

REGGAE · DANCEHALL · SOCA
LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT: New England's ALL-TIME most booked DJs. 🎧👑

23 years of receipts. The FLYAHS archive goes back to February 7, 2003, when Lexxus hit the Caribbean Cultural Center on Blue Hill Ave. 800+ throwback flyers since then. Every DJ tagged. Every name counted.

01 DJ Warlock — 427
02 Paul Michael — 293
03 DJ Assassin — 70
04 Ghetto Hype — 59
05 DJ Tragic — 48
06 DJ Slayer — 39
07 Junior Rodigan — 34
08 DJ Legend — 27
09 DJ Dex — 22
10 DJ Anaconda — 21

That's not a hot streak. That's a career.

DJ Warlock has more bookings than #3 through #10 COMBINED. 427 vs 320. That's not a lead, that's a different postcode.

Paul Michael sits at 293, and nobody else is even at 100.

Caribbean Cultural Center. Macumba. Hibernian Hall. Unity Sports Club. Kay's Oasis. Karma. If you were in those rooms, you already know how these numbers got built. Some of those nights you still can't talk about. 😮‍💨

Ghetto Hype is #1 in 2026 and #4 all-time. The workhorse is coming for the legends.

Now the one the whole city's going to argue about: DJ Assassin at 70. Silent Assassin at 17. We count them as two different selectors. Are we right? If they're one man, he's at 87 and nobody touches #3. Settle it in the comments. 👇🏾

Got old flyers in a shoebox? Get them on FLYAHS. The archive isn't finished, and neither is this list.
