DJ Kurt Riley and his team are throwing their muscles behind the upcoming staging of the Aqua Fest Soca Pool Party, which takes place this Sunday, February 18, at the Summit, 16 Chelsea Avenue, in New Kingston.

“This is not the first time that we are doing this. It’s like a revival, but with a fresh twist and a whole new crew. Get ready for an unforgettable time,” Riley told the
Jamaica Observer’s Splash on Thursday.

Riley shared how the idea for the event came about.

“A couple years ago I used to throw these legendary birthday bashes. We’d hit up three different water spots all weekend long. But last year I decided to switch things up and rented a private villa in Portland. I invited some close friends and DJs, and man, the vibes were off the charts! We had the pool rocking with soca, dancehall, Latin, Afrobeat, and amapiano tunes. The energy was unreal, and people were belting out soca lyrics like they were born to sing dem. That feeling stuck with me, so I gathered my crew and we decided to recreate and package that incredible vibe,” said Riley.

The DJs tasked with creating the party experience at Aqua Fest include Riley, DJ Squeak, Kevin Crown, and Barrie Hype.

“Brace yourselves for one of the most incredible party experiences to kick-start the carnival season! Aqua Fest is all about bringing the heat with the best poolside vibes in Kingston. We’ve got the hottest music, and you’ll be surrounded by the sexiest soca babies and people who know how to have a good time. It’s gonna be epic,” Riley reassured.

And as for other attractions at the event?

“Oh, we’ve got more than just killer music. Get ready for some awesome attractions, starting with our welcome drinks! We’ve got water games, VIP area where you can relax like a boss, and mouthwatering food and drinks to keep you fuelled up. As I mentioned,it will be the most incredible party experience to enhance the Carnival season here in Jamaica! You won’t want to miss this,” Riley added.

Aqua Fest Soca Pool Party takes place from 3:00 pm.
