RDX got everybody to dance. - file

Patrons who turned out for FAME FM's Road party Jam De Ville edition were treated to a wide variety of music from the FAME DJs at the Fayor's Entertainment Centre on Saturday night.

At midnight, the venue was packed with people, including the central Manchester Member of Parliament Peter Bunting, who cued up to get a taste of the electrifying mixes that DJs Alric & Boyd, Kevin and Kurt Riley are known to give. Soca and techno music were nicely fitted into the mixes.

When songs like Chris Brown's With You were played, most men 'rubbed an dubbed' with their partners. A few women were left lonely as their partners were otherwise occupied by the bar.

Superman and Riding Dirty were played and the people did the accompanying move. It then became obvious that hip-hop music was a favourite of the Mandeville residents.

The 'hot' remixes were not forgotten, as Buju Banton's Boom Bye Bye and Left Side & Esco's Stay Far From We were dropped on a hip-hop rhythm. As expected, those songs got huge responses from the crowd. It was then time for the patrons to 'party like rock stars'. This they did when they heard MIMS' This is Why I'm Hot and Hey Baby.

Mavado's Last Night was also put on a hip-hop rhythm, and that was a refreshing change.

At approximately 1 a.m., the red headed duo RDX took the stage with a 'boom', singing "everybody dance". They introduced a male dancer who showed the audience how to do the dance move for songs like Luggo Luggo, To Di Worl' and Nineties Rock. RDX did a song called Daggaring which the dancer helped them to demonstrate with one of the FAME dancers.

They made way for Christopher Martin, who thrilled the women on some high pitches with Jamaican Girl and Take My Love. He received big 'forwards' for Nah Go Change.

Bugle made a big entrance with Journey and then performed What Have I Done To You, while citing some of his own experiences. He went on to do Study People but surprisingly only few people did the Ravers Clavers dance move 'Nuh Linga'.

Exercise and Doh were also well-received.

It was then back to mixing by the FAME DJs, who unleashed a string of reggae hits, like Sizzla's Born In The System, Get to the Point and Where do You Go, which saw lighters flickering. On record, Capleton then 'slewed' some people while Ward 21 'saw when they ran'. Even Lady Saw showed some appreciation for 'stabbing'.

Even though the time was winding down, some women were getting Low for Flo-Rida and at T-Pains. They got wilder when they heard Elephant Man and Kat Deluna's Whine Up. This continued when Sisqo's Thong Song was played.

The intensity got stronger with Busy Signal's Pon Di Edge and Charlie Black's Luv Luv. There were also some 'sensuous seduction' in the mix.

It was obvious that the people enjoyed themselves and even when some persons were leaving, they expressed disappointment that Serani's She Love Me and Anthony B's Tease Her were just being played at 4 a.m.
