Say what you want about Jamaicans, but they surely know how to have a good time. The STAR made a stop at the Asylum Night Club on Knutsford Boulevard to take in Frequency Modulation on Saturday and it was filled with moments of uniquely Jamaican party vibes.
Having been there for approximately two hours, it seemed the night was headed for a flop. The number of patrons was sparse in the club and not many bothered to move to the music. Some made conversations with familiar faces while others made conversations with the bartenders.
Around 2:30 a.m., selector Nikki Z started turning up the pace a bit and more people made their way into the club.
Around 3 a.m., Nikki Z turned over the turntables to Liquid. The 3 to 4 a.m. block of music was one that could not have gotten much better. Suddenly, Asylum turned into dance central. One man who could be seeing making tiny moves obviously could not wait for his particular song to start. Once he started, he did not stop.
The vibes hour started with a few selections from Mavado and Bounty Killer and soon incorporated some other artistes.
An initial attempt to occupy a stool went through the window when one patron in her early Valentine's costume put a 'Hot Wuk' on the stool.
Forget about what they say about Asylum's image, you will find that a club is not half as good without this ghetto flavour. One woman in her ghetto chic attire could not help but get the watchful eye of another woman. She was probably dancing a bit too close to her man.
Nothing would haved dissuaded the antics of another woman. With the right props, a man and a chair, some moves proved to be some that would not be safe if tried at home. The party ended around 4:30 a.m. the club version at least.
