Last Saturday night, Asylum Night Club had their 10 year anniversary bash, "...But we should have gone to Nikki Z's Birthday bash instead," was the general consensus amongst some patrons after the whole thing ended behind a power surge and slight crowd disruption.
Mas Camp was the spot where Asylum hosted this culmination of events, wrapping up a solid week of celebration. Brian "Ribbi" Chung, owner of Asylum, who once ran its now defunct sister club, Cactus, delivered on his promise to provide the very best, but unforeseen circumstances aborted the fun.
Sound System, AreaCode 876, really rocked the Mas Camp revellers in the early hours and party people were well tuned in to his smooth selections to which they responded with loud approval. When Yardflex arrived at about 1:30AM selector Blade was ripping through the crowd with cutting sounds.
Interspersed with the handing out of $10,000 cash door prizes to holders of winning tickets, the stage show included amazing comedic talent from Itty, Fancy Cat and Pretty Boy Floyd. The comedians' job was to not only call people up to compete for the B-Mobile phone and gift basket prizes, but also to add an extra hilarious spin to it all by coming up with the (often ridiculous) criteria for the mini competitions.
Girls with the worst hairstyle, or those whose hair matched their tops, were called out among others. The entire place almost popped down when the worse hairstyle winner who was racing too fast to reach onto the stage, wiped out with a terrible fall. Of course, once everyone realised she was not badly hurt, the whole place "ketch a fire" with laughter.
Other crowd pleasers included, Baby Cham, who had the crowd 'eating out of the palm of his hands' with some of his tunes from the '90's. Bembe Crew's Jigsy King whose lyrical fitness had the crowd 'going' as he chanted down Babylonian principles like 'bleach out face boys', 'tight pants boys' and other ills. Selector Sky Juice was also on hand and he absolutely tore up the place with his early '90s and 2000 selections, coupled with his signature belly rolling dancing that was this time complimented by a true dancehall style split! Assasin worked the stage fairly well until joined by Baby Cham giving a full and well received set.
Although a premature ending came around 4:00AM when there was a power outage and a bit of crowd disorder, patrons with tickets were offered an added chance for fun, as Mas camp tickets were honoured on Sunday night at Asylum Night Club in New Kingston, where the final anniversary fling called 'The Afterparty,' was held.
