EVENT REVIEW: SKYY VODKA ELEVATED EXPERIENCE JHB

By Tsebo Menu
As the last sms said “#ElevatedExperienceJHB Meet us at 19:30 for 20:00 at Level three, 14AKramer road Sandton, Johannesburg to be part of the blue carpet and ultimate Elevated Experience” that’s when we knew the takeoff is near. As one of the pack to reach the venue with blue lights dimming the walk on the carpet leading to the entrance, we were greeted by air hostess looking ushers and our names as passports being double checked in, it was time to take our seats and buckle up as the SKYY Vodka plane was ready for lift off.

Welcomed by SKYY Vodka famous mix and hip hop sounds to settle you in on two levels the main floor and roof top, with three open bars operated by skilled mixologists to serve exceptional cock-tails the setting complimented the much anticipated ambiance throughout the evening and delicious canapés to complement the cocktails. 
  
The clock ticked away, the attendance increased while Major League was crowding the floor, then Lulo Café elevated the situation and gave motive to hit the bar and the dance floor.

Exclusivity of the occasion became visible with acknowledgement of media personalities, executives and Jo’Hustle’Burg Socialites with chats, introductions and exchange of contacts. 
TBO Touch
All the networking was cut short by TBO Touch voice introducing Cash Times front man K.O President of the Skhanda Republic, with the Caracara beat on Kid X introduction saw the crowd rapped along. Not only that we got a surprise performance from the Skanda queen herself Nomozi.

Cash Time left us mesmerized wasn’t long enough till we switched to the BoyZ and Bucks member Ricky Ricky. Ricky hit tracks got those who were indulging in the breath taking views of the roof top come rushing down that’s what Boss Zonke do, Its do too easy.
Aka backstage 
It was time for the self-proclaimed king of SA hip hop AKA to hit the stage, The Super Mega lived up to expectations by delivering a polished performance combined with singing and dancing to puzzle his raptor. We experienced a polite Aka with giving gratitude to those who graced the stage, drinking a fans glass but till one lady pulled jump on stage the performance was stopped.

The minute halt made him give a happy ending with coming back for one last track. Vigilante was on the decks the night seemed young the clock was disagreed but the dancing continued to sum up the night.

How was the experience? 


We must say Elevated, 50 000 feet up experience with no turbulence. SKYY Vodka proved again why it is a leader in its market. The Royal Blue with a touch of Silver brand deserves a Golden Thumbs up Crown from The Guide Mag to complement its throne.
