After I went to the Reebok Pump Party on Thursday I went off into the West End to spin for Mariah's Party at Jalouse nightclub on Hanover Square, London.
There were about 400 people outside trying to get in alongside press & pappz & some of my fabulous friends who had really dressed up for the occassion.
Statis and I had a bit of cheek from the jumped up guest lists girls who were getting their knickers in a twist busy doing nothing (seriously, if you cant handle your job of ticking people's names off a list- dont do it! :) until one very charming door guy let us through the rope chain- it was another matter trying to get my fabulous friends in, but thats a whole different st
ory.As I walked into the club, I could barely move to get my reocrds to the DJ booth it was so busy. The crowd varied from UK artists to choice fm & kiss radio dj's to chelsea bankers, tv presenters and Mariah fans. I kinda like a mixture of people, I think it makes a party more interesting, but one thing we all had in common was we were jammed in like sardines.
I bagsy'd myslef the step into the DJ booth (not even the actual booth!) and plotted there.
The Dj's were given exacting instructions as to what records to play and what not to play- which is always the way with artist parties (no other female artists in competition with said artist etc, stick to hip hop and Rnb we were told, no house- apparently Mariah hates house) but I have never been one to stick to the rules, so I wanted to play for the crowd so that they enjoyed themselves.
Most people were there just to catch a glimpse of Mariah or to do business, ei: be seen in the right places by the music industry, but there were some people who were just there to go to a cool party and have fun. Like the owner of Jalouse who wanted his members and crowd to have a great night.
When I got there the resident DJ Hery Reph had already played and Shortee Blitz was already in full swing.
Then the shouts from the door 'Mariah's coming Mariah's coming' were heard from the DJ booth and Shortee put on Mariah's 'Fantasy' remix.
Here is the video of Mariah coming into Jalouse- sorry about the quality, I was so squashed in the DJ booth! The funniest party of the night for me was Alan Carr girating on a table with his shirt undone to the waist:) love it
Mariah was coming...
and so was her whole entourage, I didnt really recognise any of them except I saw my old friend Idris Elba in her section after they had all settled down- oh and Louis Walsh heh heh..
I have spun at a few things for Mariah and I think she seems like a very nice lady, I think the hype is all created by her PR, record companies & everyone else. But it seems to work- people love it.
Mariah stayed around 45 minutes and was swept out as quickly as she came in and then off into a Rolls Royce Phantom and off home- I bet she stopped for a kebab on the way though :)
The club was actually more fun after all the commotion had calmed down and everyone else started to enjoy themselves. I span everything from Jay Z to Prince, Depeche Mode, New Young Pony Club, vinez Cartel & lots in beteween.
I had a fun night.
Shouts to Lance Lewis, Freddie & Anthony, the resident DJ's at Jalouse and all the people who came and showed me love.
