Partying with your friends on a Soca-centric cruise alongside some of the biggest names in the genre always seemed like a good idea.  Now that its over and Jester has shared footage from the experience, it seems like something we should plan to never miss again!

This weekend, the Edmonton soca crowd was treated to a live performance from "Hypasounds" out of Barbados.  With hits like 'How She Like It', 'Sugar Rush' and 'Bam Bam Back' plus the DJ stylings of New York's "Mr. Groove", we're sorry we couldn't make it up to Envy Nightclub for this one. We'll be on the lookout for upcoming events from STL and Live For The Moment entertainment.
