Mixed energy at SPLIT

It took Razz and Biggy's ingenuity to bridge the divide that was at SPLIT, held at The Academy, Red Hills Road, on Sunday evening.

DJ Rickochey was the selector who got the party started. Code Red played a slew of hip hop songs for people scattered across the huge venue. Blade, who is part of the sound system, interacted with the women, dancing under the sprinklers in the middle of the venue dancing.

While song selection was decent, patrons lined the sides of the venue and were barely dancing. However, Biggy came off the selector stage and walked across what he said seemed like a big football field in the middle of the party. He said the party seemed as if "it split inna two", and encouraged the patrons to go on one side of the venue, and they complied.

In a split second, there was more energy and people were dancing. He played some hip hop songs before jumping into dancehall songs like Aidonia's Bad People and Mavado's Mad Ova.

There was also a competition on the dance floor among the women when Spice and Pamputae's Fluffy vs Slim was played.

 

slow start

Deadline Sound took over but got off to a slow start. Eventually, they got people dancing to Ding Dong's Bad Man Forward and Elephant Man's Crazy Hype. Weed songs like I-Octane's Puff It and Vybz Kartel's Send On got huge 'forwards'. While the sound selected popular songs, there were huge flaws in their mixing.

Fire Bling, who took the controls later, was even poorer at mixing and his song selection was all over the place. Although Biggy and Code Red collaborated later, there was very little they could do to bring back the energy to the party, as many people had left by then.
