As patrons were getting into full wining gear, the police put an end to Footloose that was being held at Ranny Williams Entertainment Centre on Saturday night.
At 3 a.m. ZJ Liquid was thrilling the audience with Bounty Killer and Barrington Levy's Living Dangerously when the police walked up to the DJ booth. Without much of a conversation with the lawmen, the disc jock knew it was time to end the party, so he bade the patrons farewell. However, many of them stood for a while, seeming reluctant to leave.
Prior to the lock-off, Mix Master Marvin blazed some fire with Sizzla's Get To The Point and Bounty Killer's Look Into My Eyes. He also played a wide range of dancehall songs from the early 90s. Yet, there was little movement in the crowd.
But it was ZJ Liquid who pushed the party up a notch. Before he started playing he thanked his well-wishers for voting for him to be named the Radio Personality of the Year at the Youth View Awards that was held earlier in the night.
Then, he paid tribute to Bob Marley on his birthday with songs like Don't Worry and Redemption Song. He also played several songs from Mykal Rose, Super Cat and Shabba Ranks.
And, the obviously more mature audience seemed to appreciate every bit of the selection. They thoroughly enjoyed the sexually explicit songs that were played, as there was a lot of bending over and gyrating.
Then, he put some hip-hop in the mix with songs like Mystikal's Shake It Fast, DMX's Lose My Mind and R Kelly'sFiesta, to which the patrons did the 'Log On' dance move. In an effort to mix it up, Liquid played songs like Jitter Bug and I'm So Excited. By the time Footloose was selected, the patrons were on a high, as they danced, jumped and skipped.
As it neared the end of his set, couples were locked together as he played some groovy R&B songs. There was also a bit of ska, before he went back to dancehall.
