XEN, the experience of experiences on DC Carnival Saturday that's delivered year in and year out. This is that event that normally separate the party goers to the REAL BACCAHANALIST....and this year...NO EXCEPTION. people came out to get on. I believe it's due to being deprived of the road experience this year resulting in tension in the waist and that need for pace and XEN definitely delivered

XEN, the experience of experiences on DC Carnival Saturday that's
delivered year in and year out. This is that event that normally
separate the party goers to the REAL BACCAHANALIST....and this year...NO
EXCEPTION. people came out to get on. I believe it's due to being
deprived of the road experience this year resulting in tension in the
waist and that need for pace and XEN definitely delivered.
Arriving a little early (i was THAT excited) the crowds were not yet in the venue and situated but that allowed me to get a few drinks. but as the people started flowing in it was apparent that it was going to be a time. The baccahanlist dressed to party with out care who could be found holding their spot up front for the performances to come were definitely present. The place was filled with beautiful, trendy, and fashion forward people ready to have a time.
DC Star is located in NE DC, which is very accessible from every main highway in DC and was a prime local for crowds that was present at Xen. The place was large enough to accommodate the hundreds of screaming party goers and also give you enough room to maneuver.
The vibes were set from early from your Djs, PRIVATE RYAN, STEPHEN, FOREIGN BASS, SPRANG INT'L, FYAH OATS, AND MAJESTIC. The music was on point from start to end and also the extra live entertainment provided by "the dream team" (dj stephen and dj majestic) added another element to the overall experience that the crowd was very receptive of. The main acts that came on and all delivered AMAZING performances were LYRIKAL, SHALL MARSHALL, KERWIN DUBOIS, and SWAPPI.
This was what DC was waiting for and we got more than what was anticipated.
The cash bar was very easily accessible and the service was very good as for my experience. the waitresses were all very pleasant and could find one or two jamming to the music.
Service was good and receptive...from the front door to backstage.
The night would set you back $30 in advance and a little more at the door but it was all more than worth it.
..as the night was finally over and i got a moment to look at my phone and the message i received from a friend that was in the crowd kind of sumemd up the night in one sentence.
"...THAT WAS AMAZING"
