NASSAU, Bahamas – A Ship is sailing in to 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 all abuzz about its first-ever Carnival, and road fever
bands throwing elaborate parties to introduce the costumes they will don
when they take to the road 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 DJ, Private Ryan, to
headline the Sundance beach party. 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 grasped 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 in his very popular online podcast.”
For his
first Major event in the Bahamas, Dj Private Ryan is sure to bring all
his talents to bear. Setting the stage for what is sure to be an Epic
event with the Sundance Beach Party Team. Local DJ, 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 on
November 1. 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 Ms. 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 guest alike.”
“For the Sundance Beach Party
launch event, we will partner will 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 Ms. 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.”
