Trini Jungle Juice is all about promoting exclusive entertainment, so when we received our personal invitation to join good friends, Mike Malcolm and Mesfun Y Haile - the gentlemen of XCLuSV, and special guests for their 10th Year Anniversary down at Inside Lounge, Toronto... you know that we were not only in da house... but in full effect!

It was Victoria Day Weekend Sunday, and folks arrived as early as Inside Lounge opened their doors (some earlier), to avoid any of the usual Toronto night life drama of long line ups or having to hear the bouncers announce that the door is officially closed for the night. The V.I.P Celebration kicked off the night in XCLuSV's goal to have all their guests feel like "Overnight Celebrities." And this venue had just the perfect settings! We caught up with Comedian Jean Paul for a minute, but he refused to give any free jokes! :-) Big up JP!

t.a.b.o.o the After Party... 4 floors... 4 vibes. A mature, yet very hip crowd filled with your GQ guys and trendy rude boys, and of course, your very sexy ladies giving you a taste of the hottest styles and fashions. Now, add some of Canada's #1 DJs, Starting from Scratch, Tricky Moriera, D'Enforcas, DJ Alize, Doug Nice (and many others that we cannot even remember) with Flow 93.5 FM's Mark Strong, along with your favorite alcoholic beverages served by the sexiest bartenders in the city in the mix... and you have the perfect recipe for one crazy Party! And crazy it was! There were many times through out the night were certain floors were temporally closed off as it was too packed... thank goodness for the rooftop!

What we really loved about this party was the fact that everyone had a good time in their own element. Especially on the 3rd floor, when D'Enforcas played that Soca set around 2am. Wow. Women let their waistlines go as if it was Caribana already! But, like we said, every floor had it's own vibe... and from what we saw and heard from DJs Doug Nice, Tricky Moriera and Starting from Scratch it was definitely on and poppin'. Large up all DJs that were on the inside. Even C.I.DEE Sound System got to touch the set to cool down the party with some big tunes. We can still heard the crowd singing out to Beres Hammond's Rock Away... "I remember the days when we use to rock away... those were the days..." An event this big was definitely 10 Years in the making. Thank you XCLuSV for the last 10 years of making us feel... XCLuSV!
