Euphoria Carnival

Busspepper 9th Anniversary

On the Sunday 6th of May 2012 Busspepper held their 9th Anniversary Party at Sway Bar and Nightclub in Central London.

Reviews: Parking was a nightmare, the venue from the outside looked a little posh, so that was a plus straight away. There was a champagne reception for the early birds, but as usual i missed that. As you walked into the club I was very surprised at how bright the dance-floor was.There were too many lights on in the main room that at times the vibes wasn't there. The second room was appropriately lit for a club and dance-hall was pumping every time I went into that room and I was happy with that.
Dj's on the night were both great, I could never fault the skills of Dj Markee and Dj Lyrical Louix.


But with the despite the lights and the heat all in all I would say it was a Great night for BP :)

D Insider Talk : I not even sure if anyone noticed the announcement of the New Band Euphoria Carnival
It was casually slipped in by one of the djs ; 'New begingings ,look out for Euprioa Carniavl on the road' (or something along those lines) but i didn't miss a bit I was  tuned into everything so I heard that announcement

So Stay Tuned for more 'D Insider Talk' on this new Band

Photos from Busspepper can be found here on UK Soca Scene and Trini Jungle Juice
