This is what UKSS did last week

Release D Riddim: Soca Lockdown – Friday 23rd May 2014

Bringing soca back to the West End in Central London, instantly brought back memories of the good old Cork’s days. The vibe inside was good, everyone came out to have fun, party and free up themselves with genuine soca lovers and a number of party goers who stumbled upon the club (I can guarantee a few more individuals have been converted after their tutorial). #pushplaypromotesoca24/7

Luton Carnival 2014 – Sunday 25th May 2014

It was bright, colourful, vibrant and youthful. And there wasn’t a drop of rain to be felt anywhere.

To us Luton Carnival mas/costumes hold more interest than some Notting Hill Carnival costumes. The themes that bands pick tell a story and this is clearly displayed in their costume designs. In Luton it’s not all about bikinis, beads and feathers. There is real mas making taking place, true creativity at its best.

The carnival got off to a slow start. (I think the sun being out shocked everyone). When it did get going the spectators cheered on the passing bands, the masqueraders started to feel the vibes, the sweet soca music began to play on a higher level, the essence of carnival could be felt and the sun stayed out!

Red Eye – Sunday 25th  May 2014

Regardless of the venue mix up the place was ram jam. Protocol is a decent size but not for a Red Eye following (they have an army of revellers).

With two rooms hosting some of the finest DJ’s on the UK soca circuit, playing old and new school soca, you was definitely spoilt for choice, both rooms were heaving with wotless behaviour and vibes.

The revellers were kept entertained and in high spirits throughout, even though the temperature conditions and overall hygiene became unbearable at times.
