DISC JOCKS & SOUND SYSTEMS:
DJ Bambino — a favourite at exclusive parties and around the region. Also in demand at office parties.
Sparkles Disco — The preferred set of the Frenchmen.
Merritone — when filling the dance floor is of utmost importance
Kurt Riley — has a penchant for soca music.
ZJ Liquid + hip and happening, not to mention popular following controversy with his babies’ mommas.
Renaissance Disco — has been popular among the ‘hip’ crowd since the 90s. (Ask for them by name: Delano, Jazzy T, Dr Dre, Smoke, Christuff)
Coppershot Disco — one of the most popular sounds among ‘tweens’, high
schoolers and college students
Stone Love — The ‘Immortal’ Stone Love is the sound system that has stood the test of time and is still one of the most sought after sound systems for ‘dancehall’ events.
DJ Narity — was already on the party scene playing for Bloodline Disco, and then later as an independent deejay before gaining popularity in the Heineken Green Synergy Competition.
ZJ Elektra — is seen as one of the best female deejays in the music biz. The fact that the men find her ‘easy on the eye’ only adds to her demand.
Collin Hinds — the Captain is known for his extensive knowledge of music and is usually hired to play retro hits at events.
Supa Hype — recently became popular since opening his 007 studios on Dumbarton Ave. This brought with it the 007 Sound, which plays every Monday at Susie’s Bakery’s Mojito Mondays event.
OUNDTRACKS:
I’m OK/Rum & Red Bull by Beenie Man and Future Fambo — this definitive party anthem will transition from a summer jam to jolly Christmas track.
Pon Di Floor by Major Lazer — A part of the ‘eclec-tric’ movement that’s stirring up party scenes across the world, this is the ultimate dance track.
Like A G6 by Far East Movement — Its champagne-popping and floor-stomping vibe will rule the dancefloor this season.
Letting Go (Dutty Love) by Sean Kingston featuring Nicki Minaj — The Rock-flavoured toasting mixed in with New York sass from the Young Money spitfire.
Hold You by Gyptian — Gyptian’s foray onto the international scene is still burning the turntables at the hottest clubs.
