TWIST RELOADED
Wednesday 3rd May 2006
London: Capisce Nightclub

In the run up to the exams for most university students, Imperial College International Tamil Society (I.T.S.), organisers of Mega Maalai, offered a little break from long hours trapped in the dark recesses of the library in the form of their 4^th bi annual charity event: Twist: Reloaded. The Twist parties are the brainchild of I.T.S. veteran Harry Narenthira aka Harrybo and have been running for three years now. These parties have witnessed performances from some of the biggest personalities in Imperial College including MC Rashad the Human Beatbox and Funkology, the high profile dance troupe!  They have been hosted at some of London’s top night clubs including Rococo and Zoo Bar, raising over a thousand pounds for various charities including Medical Institute of Tamils.

The 3^rd of May 2006 saw Twist grace the glamorous location of Mayfair at the favourite celebrity haunt: Capisce. The 200 strong crowd on the night fitted perfectly with the plush venue with students’ glamming themselves up with tiaras and fur coats. Although the crowd mainly comprised of Imperial students, there was strong representation from all years (especially the 5^th year medics who were out in force tearing up the dance floor.)

Taking care of the music on the night were Ministry of Sound’s DJ Technixx, K2 of the Notting Hills Arts Club and ICSM’s own DJ Harrybo and Nazza T who has just released an album: Spot the Difference on Xstreme Soundz record Label. Who says medics don’t do any work? Throughout the night the sounds of Hip Hop, Soul and Bhangra were pumped out as well as an inspired garage/grime set resulting in an explosion of severe dancing/rowdiness on the dance floor!!  

In traditional Twist style the evening included break dancing and street-locking performances by Caeser (look out for his dance classes)  and Ajay(ICSM) as well as an Open Mic Competition featuring the likes of MC Menis, Sub Zero and even Harrybo blessing the mic with some interesting lyrics to get the crowd lively! Having advertised the event on most of the major clubbing websites in London, we also saw a couple of high profile photographers taking photos on the night! Even Bob Geldoff decided to pop his head into the venue! There were great drinks promos available and the Capisce air also boasted a hint of flavour with shisha available throughout the venue!
