UWI Final Fête hosted by Taylor Hall brought a huge gathering to the UWI Students' Union as students celebrated the end of final exams and the closure of semester two of the college year.

The STAR arrived at the venue at 11 p.m., during the juggling of disc jockey Johnny Kool who played some hardcore dancehall songs such as Talk To Dem by Bounty Killer and Real McCoy by Mavado.

Students could be seen doing popular dance moves such as the Killer Swing and Now You See Me Now You Don't as the DJ whipped up some real action packed songs.

He then engaged the females by playing popular whining songs like Vybz Kartel's Tic Toc, Mavado's Never Believe You and Tip Pon Yu Toe by Busy Signal.

Johnny Kool then handed over the turntables to DJ Nicco at midnight, and after a few minutes struggling to fix his CD player, he began his segment by playing Junior Gong's Affairs Of The Heart.

This song immediately captured the attention of females as they sang each line. The song was followed by Stacious and Mavado's Come Into My Room.

"This is for the ladies," the dj bellowed over the microphone, and outweighing the male counterparts in ratio, the females sang and gyrated aggressively.

Macka Diamond and Unicorn's Think Bout Mi was also greeted with roars of approval.

Campus DJs Granty and Moon Shine came next and they delivered a hardcore whining segment that had the patrons sweating. After their exit, Arif Cooper and Scientist cooled down the audience with some R&B selections, such as Lloyd's Lay It Down among others.

Self-proclaimed 'King of the Street' Boom Boom took over at 1 a.m., and played more hardcore songs such as Mavado's Gyal A Mad Ova, VIP by Vybz Kartel and Major Lazer's Pon Di Floor.

DJ Boom Boom also interacted with the crowd by stimulating dance competitions. Using two stages at once, the dj moved through the crowd with a cordless microphone encouraging females to outdo each other, while his colleague Harry Hype played Spice's Jim Screechie and Aidonia's Jack Hammer.

The police intervened at 2 a.m., and ordered that the music be turned off. This created much anger in the audience as many students complained that exams were over and nobody was being disturbed.

"It is sad that the fête should be turned off at 2 a.m., and campus is empty? Nobody is here to be disturbed, this is unfair ... Final Fête of all parties should be allowed to go later," said Vaughn Hutchinson, a student, who claimed he had just arrived.
