Description
Tropical Spice Radio brands itself "The Flava of the Caribbean" and invites listeners to "Stream live shows, exclusive mixes, and nonstop Caribbean vibes wherever you go. Stay connected to the culture, 24/7, right from your phone." Its Our Culture page sets out the intent at length: "we're more than just a station, we're a bridge connecting communities, a platform celebrating diversity, and a constant reminder of the Caribbean's rich and colorful heritage", promising authentic Caribbean music, community conversations, business spotlights and a link home for listeners abroad. Alongside the stream it runs a news feed on Caribbean music and events, an exclusive mixes archive and an events hub.

Artists
the station's own news feed covers the artists it promotes, including Kabaka Pyramid, Masicka, D'Yani, Dyanis and the group Kestheband. Its own chart pages are period sets rather than artist lists, so no live song history was available to read.

Kind
continuous automated playout with an archive of pre-recorded exclusive mixes; the site publishes a rolling listener counter and a "Listen On the go" player, and offers apps for iOS, Android and Alexa, but nothing on the site describes a live studio.

Worth knowing
the station is a Brooklyn diaspora operation rather than a Caribbean one, and says so itself by publishing a New York street address while describing its audience as Caribbean "in the Caribbean or abroad". One of its own news pieces is headlined "From Brooklyn to Washington", which fits the address rather than the island filing this row arrived with.

Where
Brooklyn, New York, United States. The station's own Get in Touch page publishes a Tilden Avenue address in Brooklyn 11226 together with a 347 area-code telephone number. It is internet only and claims no frequency.

On air
none. I looked at the Speakers page, the site's Team Members records and every schedule day page. All six team entries carry the theme's demo biography verbatim, so the station names no presenter of its own.

Programmes
nine show titles the operator has named itself: "Prime Time Fridays", "The morning show", "cool Runningz Show", "The Takeover", "Vibes Friday", "Mic Check", "The Backspin", "Turn Up Zone" and "Underground Grind". The seven day pages place them in slots, for example The Backspin 12:00 am to 7:00 am, Mic Check 7:00 am to 8:30 am and The Takeover 8:30 am to 9:00 am on Sunday, but those slots sit inside a grid that is otherwise unedited demo content, so treat the times as unconfirmed.

What we corrected
Each of these changed a field in our own entry. The reasoning is the researcher's own, recorded when the change was made.
| Field | Change | Why |
|---|---|---|
| country code | BQ → US | The station's own Get in Touch page at tropicalspiceradio.com/link-up/ publishes a street address on Tilden Avenue in Brooklyn, New York 11226 together with a 347 area-code telephone number, both under the heading 'Other details' beside its contact form. Its Our Culture page describes its audience as Caribbean 'in the Caribbean or abroad' and one of its own news pieces is headlined 'From Brooklyn to Washington', so this is a New York diaspora station. Nothing on the site places it in Bonaire, Sint Eustatius or Saba. |

what it said before was not recorded; the
reasoning usually states it
|
The whole of tropicalspiceradio.com is in English, including its Our Culture statement, its Get in Touch page and its nine self-named show titles, and it operates out of Brooklyn, New York. |
What we found and did not publish
Material that would have made this page fuller, and was refused. A page with five named presenters looks better than a page with none even when the five are a website theme's demonstration content, and the difference is invisible to a reader. So it is recorded here instead.
| What we could have said | Why we did not |
|---|---|
| six named "Team Members" | every one carries the identical unmodified theme demo biography, each claiming the person was "born ... on 11 December 1968 in Gießen, Hesse, Germany", is "a techno DJ, music producer, radio host and founder of the record label CLR" and "opened the Spinclub techno club in 1994", which is the template's copy pasted under six invented names and has nothing to do with a Caribbean station.
source |
| the presenter credits printed against the shows in the schedule, in the forms "With", "Presented by" and "Hosted by" | they point at those same demo names.
source |
| the show descriptions on the schedule pages | they are Lorem ipsum, and one still carries the theme's own instruction text to the site builder, "For every Show page the timetable is auomatically generated from the schedule", typo included.
source |
| one non-demo name, "DJ Blackz", credited on a single Sunday slot | that slot's description reads only "Coming Soon...", and the surrounding grid is demo content, so I will not publish a presenter on that alone.
source |
| the demo categories attached to the shows, Science, Environment, Entertainment and Health | they are the theme's, and no Caribbean music station programmes by them.
source |
| the live listener and "Top listeners" counters in the player | they render empty in the served page.
source |
| leftover theme menu entries still published in the navigation, Magazine, Blog grid, Blog grid sidebar, Blog masonry, Blog no sidebar, Blog sidebar and Speakers | scaffolding, not sections of this station.
source |
| a footer copyright reading 2025 while the site's own posts run to September 2026 | the two disagree, so neither becomes a date claim.

If you think something here is wrong
Tell us which fact and what you found instead. Everything above names its source and its date, so a disagreement can be settled by looking rather than argued. Where another site disagrees with us, it is usually because it is repeating a radio directory, and occasionally because we got it wrong. We would like to know which.
Read from the station's own material; this page is generated from the
catalogue as it stands now, so it changes when the research does. Research
current as at 2026.
