Two trucks and a crowd of people jamming to soca around the National Stadium is all that was needed to create a supercharged event for attendees at Xodus Remedy.

The event, on Saturday, November 25, featured an enjoyable mix of dancehall and soca tracks from multiple islands, with drinks-inclusive courtesy of Campari. To its credit, Xodus Remedy avoided the typical soca party issue of having a repetitive musical selection by including popular songs from 2023.

Although the event could be dubbed a success overall, it was marred earlier in the night with delays in the start time and in the trucks’ departure.

Right after the party ended, speaking with Our Today, Maya Ashley said: “The party was great. I was tired and sleepy before I came here but there was never a dull a moment and it had me jumping and dancing straight through; the party did a great job of keeping my energy up.”

She commended the availability of food and drinks at the event.

Daina Elliot, veteran reveller, said: “The event was great; I loved every moment of it. Being around friends with good music is always a vibe. The energy was on point, I felt alive and as if I was a part of an experience.”

First-time reveller Owen Cardoza said: “Considering this is my first soca party, I wasn’t sure what to expect, my friend told me to come out tonight and promised me a great time and they definitely weren’t lying.”

“To me, it looked pretty awkward initially, but when that truck moved off, things got wild. I don’t even know the soca music like that but I like it and I really enjoyed myself; it was nice. I’d give it a solid 7.5 out of 10, if this is what a road march is like I definitely have to be at the next one,” he added.
