The host, Deejay Double Trouble was hosting Graviti Band, Band Linda and was assisted on the decks by Steve Junior, Deejay Prince while MC Philipo put his hype skills to work.

Kitengela - It’s the new entertainment hub in Athi River with numerous clubs, piled on the same stretch try their best to outshine each other. Such was the case last Sunday afternoon, with the two households clubs Pavillion and Halcyon playing a you can’t beat me game. Revellers came from as far as Nairobi just to have some fun.

Pavilion - It was a mega party showdown featuring some of the biggest names in the game. Hosted by SpinCycle entertainment deejay Mr T alongside MC Jose ushered Mejja whose hits are currently topping the charts with spinmaster Joe Mfalme on the ones and twos. Just from the parking lot, it was evident that the event was sold out. According to MC Jose, body temperature test were conducted and “despite the huge turnout, we occasionally reminded revellers about the need to observing the health regulations like social distancing,” he said.

Just a few metres, Kriss Darlin’s unit Dohty Family, was entertaining yet another full house during their weekly Reggae Sundays. “This is the third consecutive month and we are still strictly adhering to health precautions. We encourage our clients to start with the afternoon brunch and are shut by 8pm,” said the club’s entertainment manager.
