The LAST FREE UP EVER at Republic this Wednesday Nov 21st, 2012

After 5 years of Free Up celebrating Dancehall, Reggae and Soca at 2 different clubs we are sadly closing the doors on this legendary weekly party. Free Up first started at Shine Night Club where Neal Loud created the concept and promoted the party for 4 years. After stepping back from the promotions scene, Neal passed the party on to Free Up's DJs and the night moved to Republic where it has been for the past 8 months. Countless guest djs have selected for us as well as many artists having performed and we'd like to thank them and everyone of you who has ever come out and enjoyed the night with us.

The LAST episode of FREE UP goes down tomorrow at Republic and we would love for you to be there. The guestlist is already pakd but we can still hook you up so get at me quick if you would like to attend for FREE @djarems.

FREE UP WEDNESDAYS Relaunches at REPUBLIC - Feb 1st, 2012

After 4 years of doing FREE UP WEDNESDAYS at Shine Night Club, the last FREE UP at Shine went down January 11th. A few different reasons factored in to us moving the night but we'd like to say thank you very much to the owners and staff at Shine who always made the club feel like home. We are sad to go but things change and we are happy to have a new residency at REPUBLIC!

Starting Wednesday, February 1st, and every Wednesday after that, FREE UP will be relaunching at Republic on the patio. The whole crew is back including DJ's Rexx, Hoppa, Chizzle and myself, Arems. Always dropping the best Dancehall, Soca and Reggae, you can expect a lot of special events and guests! February alone sees the grand opening party, followed by the Fiyah Fi Bun Dem Part 6 CD Release plus two guest appearances from local and over seas DJs! Republic also has some of the best drink specials on Wednesdays including $4 Heinekens. An added bonus is the main room at Republic features old school hip hop by DJ C-Stylez and special guests for Down By Law.

Make sure to hit me up for guest list @djarems if you'd like to roll thru! Republic - 958 Granville Street.
