Revolutionizing the day party

Thu, Oct 23rd 2014, 11:18 PM

In mere days, a ship will sail into Nassau Harbour with passengers who have one goal in mind -- to reach Nirvana Beach for the most revolutionary day party held on New Providence to date.
With the Bahamas abuzz about its upcoming first-ever Carnival, and road fever bands throwing elaborate parties to introduce the costumes they will don when they take to the streets come May, Sundance, with it's all-inclusive-drinks model, is clinching a niche (and possibly top) spot on the calendar of events.
Pupstar Entertainment and Events and Hybrid Events (Miami) have lined up world-renowned deejay, Private Ryan, to headline the Sundance Beach Party on Saturday, November 1.
Private Ryan's "Soca Brainwash 2014" Youtube mega-mix became the go-to Soca compilation in the lead-up to Trinidad Carnival. And his first-ever Trinidad Carnival party titled after his famous Soca mix, was one of the most sought after fetes for the Carnival season. He also snagged the Global Spin Awards' Caribbean DJ of the Year title in 2012.
"DJ Private Ryan has achieved world-renowned status as an international DJ," said Pupstar's President Alicia "Puppy" Robinson. "He was the first Caribbean DJ to be nominated by the same body as a finalist for International DJ of the Year in 2013. He has travelled extensively throughout the Caribbean, North and Central America and parts of Europe. He is well known for his versatility and his ability to mix different genres of music both live in parties and [on] his very popular online podcast."
Setting the stage for what is sure to be an epic event with the Sundance Beach Party team, local deejay Furze, who grew his fan base spinning in the Aura Nightclub at Atlantis, will whet the musical appetite of Sundance patrons when the doors open at noon. DJ Dutty Dex -- known as the "Music Mayor of Miami" -- will lay down his session on the beach, before Private Ryan takes the wheels.
There will be no shortage of special Bahamian entertainment, with fire dancers and breathers, stilt walkers and acrobats.
The idea of Sundance grew out of planning for the official launch of Pupstar Entertainment and Events, according to Robinson. And Pupstar and Hybrid have come together to offer a cruise component that will allow the event to host an international audience.
"Sundance Beach Party is the brainchild of both Pupstar Entertainment and Hybrid Events... a Miami-based event planning company," she said. "The vision is to create an event that can anchor a weekend in the upcoming years. Sundance Beach party will be the center of a weekend escape for locals and international guests alike. For the Sundance Beach Party launch event, we will partner with like-minded corporate sponsors as we seek to redefine the culture of entertainment in The Bahamas."
With Nassau more in party mode than it ever has been, the result of Bahamas Carnival groups launching bands and holding fundraisers, Sundance is sure to set the bar high enough to set an unprecedented standard. With novel attractions offered, such as zip lining and paddle boarding, the event is sure to draw a cosmopolitan crowd.
"Our country has had a healthy appetite for vivacious, creative and innovative events and there has been a deficit with local entertainment options in The Bahamas," said Robinson. "Having this insight, coupled with my love for music, film, theater and all things entertainment is what nudged me to move forward with Pupstar."
