New Year's Eve party X.Clusive brought back some excitement to Hope Gardens recently.

Tickets were sold for as much as $7,000, however, the hundreds of patrons in attendance indicated that price was not a deterrent.

The food and drink inclusive event, featured mainly foreign music and the DJs decided to get the patrons dancing from early by playing some dance hip-hop songs like Big Sean's Dance featuring Nicki Minaj, 2 Chainz's Birthday Song and French Montana's Pop That.

Most patrons weren't really interested in dancing at that point, as they simply flanked the food stations, sampling the various food kinds available, which ranged from shrimp, chicken and oysters to ice cream, among others delights.

The mood was shifted to dancehall at 12:30 a.m., with songs like Chino's Ruff It Up and Holiday by Ding Dong and Chevaughn getting favourable responses.

Then later came the soca flavour with popular hits like Alison Hinds' Roll It Gyal, Rupee's Tempted To Touch, among others.

At 1 a.m., it was back to foreign music with overseas hits like Party Like a Rock Star by Shop Boyz and Make it Rain by Fat Joe and Lil Wayne.

DJ Nicco re-visited some more dancehall hits like Assassin's Almighty Protect Me and Hand Inna Di Air, and Mavado's So Special.

The beautifully decorated venue, mixed with some great music, food and liquor, ensured that all in attendance enjoyed partying the X.Clusive way.
