BTM December 2011 171 Can’t wait till the end of the month to party? Well, you needn’t. Here are some exciting DJ nights not to be missed as we head into a New Year. After the huge success of the FTV Party in September with DJ Ravin, Bushido wants to surprise you again by taking FTV nights to the next level with respect to the music, set-up and entertainment. Featuring smooth house music tunes, party anthems and contemporary music, this night will go beyond anything the venue has done in the past. The party will feature international DJs Tanja La Croix and Abel Ramos, chic models and a glamorous fashion show. The Secret Garden show combines elements of dance and fashion performances. The Bulgarian girls’ aim is to escape the commercial forms of dance and turn the night into a superb experience for the audience. Be prepared to enter fairy land on the night of December 8. Remember to don your finest white clothes. Regular tickets cost BD20 inclusive of one drink; VIP passes cost BD40 inclusive of two drinks. E Call 17 583-555.
