On the Hawaiian Island
of Oahu, when it comes to BIG shows, no one does it better than Jonathan
Mack, in collaboration with Mike Galmiche and Laka,
now known as 3 Sexy Guys. Their reputation for huge shows, averaging
over 5,000 people, cannot be compared!
Saturday 27th August
was no different. 3 Sexy Guys locked down the THE HAWAIIAN WATERS ADVENTURE
PARK (which is the size of like 5 Emperor Valley Zoos in case you
were wondering) and offered part 2 of the Summer Sunsplash series.
Despite a slightly
late call for open gates due to some security compromises, all traffic
flow was smooth. This delay however worked in favor of the party as it
gave early attendees a feel for just how big the event was with lines
that swirled around the parking lot.
With 5 stages spread
throughout the park, 3 DJ and 2 live performance, concert-goers had the
opportunity to sample all genres of music. Always a hit amongst Hawaiians
were the usual suspects BET, NATURAL VIBES and RED DEGREE,
who were jammin' the mellow vibes of Island Style Reggae. Another big
hit was the dancehall stage where all de latest reggae chunes and some
'oldies but goodies' revealed just how many Jamaicans were on the island.
Located in the middle of the park, it was a joy to skant your way thru
while moving from one live stage to another.
A disappointment was
the techno stage that was located in front of the food bar. The well lit
food bar didn't enhance the glow sticks of the few die hard techno junkies.
However, it wasn't long before the techno island was open... and the idea
of being surrounded by water on an island with blinking strobe lights
amidst the trees qualified as superb trance styles juggled by the world's
#1 in the business, KIMBALL COLLINS.
ELEPHANT MAN
buss up de dance and the show closed with THIRD WORLD, who brought
some Aloha spirit along with the island's favorites... REGGAE AMBASSADOR
and 96 DEGREES IN THE SHADE.
The show was a great
success with almost 10,000 attendees. It was an 18 and over event, which
worked by having allocated drinking areas. And since the closing hour
for clubs in Hawaii like most US states is 2am, having a show this big
with such acts running till 4am was a sure win!
Look out Hawaii...
3 Sexy Guys is your sure bet for great acts.... local and foreign!
