It's Toronto Caribana
Saturday and that can only mean one thing...... XCLUSV's 9th Annual mega
party at the Atlantis Entertainment Complex! This event was pretty much
sold out before the doors opened so we knew it was going to be bananas!!
TJJ was at the scene around 11:30 PM and the place was packed with over
1,800 partygoers. Now if you have never been to Atlantis, let us describe
it to you. Atlantis is one of the most beautiful venues we have ever seen.
It is located on the lake shore, 70 feet above water. There are 4 rooms
and a huge roof top patio each playing different types of music. So whatever
your vibe is, you are sure to find it here.
Okay so we in the
main room.... look at people!!! Toronto's #1 DJs Starting From Scratch
(Flow 93.5FM) & D'Bandit were on the ones & twos turning
the house out with R&B, Hip Hop, Reggae, Soca & House tunes! This
is where TJJ met ah smallie and took a little spin on the revolving dance
floor (yes, Atlantis has a revolving dance floor!). Now the beauty of
a revolving dance floor is that you can scope de whole scene without having
to walk around. Fellas you feel us? And if you see women!! Wow. We thanked
de smallie for de dance and decided to explore some more. Ah man cah put
all his eggs in one basket right??!! So we walked around to check the
vibes in the other rooms. Next stop was the VIP room. Now this is were
the ballers with bottles were. We see ah whole set of model type smallies
and we plant ourselves in this room for a good amount of time.
But wait it's almost
1:30 AM and we still in we still in VIP??!! OK, so de rest of the TJJ
crew had to forcefully pull me from de lady in red, who ah must say was
giving ah nice wine and we went to de next room, Nemos. This was more
like a lounge, with plenty couples getting comfortable. Okay note to self,
must come back with ah smallie before the night is over. ;-) So on to
the next room... we walked up the stairs to the Atlantis room. De place
was jumping with DJ Smooth B playing old school all night long.
Whaaaaat? You know we had to bust a few ole school moves before we head
to de next room.
Next stop, de Roof
Top. Now we heard the Roof Top had de Island vibe so we had to represent.
As we walked up to the roof, we couldn't believe the view... a picture
perfect scenery of the Toronto sky line! But we soon forgot about the
scenery once we reached the top... people were having ah time with sweet
Soca & Reggae played by DJ Court Jester & DJ Chief
(both of CIUT 89.5FM World Wide Thursday Morning radio show). People were
getting on sooooo bad that the roof top was shaking! Yes it's Caribana
after all!... so we jumped in on de fun & got crazy!
With all these rooms
& beautiful women we were like kids at a candy store. Sadly all good
things must come to an end and at 3:45 AM, TJJ was taking its last slow
dance.
Special thanks to
the gentlemen of XCLuSV, Mesfun Y Haile & Mike Malcom, for showing
us the usual love. We had a damn good time & we will surely be back
next Caribana for your 10th Anniversary MM@WW party at Atlantis!
