      On the Hawaiian Island 
        of Oahu, when it comes to BIG shows, no one does it better than Jonathan 
        Mack, in collaboration with Mike Galmiche and Laka, 
        now known as 3 Sexy Guys. Their reputation for huge shows, averaging 
        over 5,000 people, cannot be compared! 
      Saturday 27th August 
        was no different. 3 Sexy Guys locked down the THE HAWAIIAN WATERS ADVENTURE 
        PARK (which is the size of like 5 Emperor Valley Zoos in case you 
        were wondering) and offered part 2 of the Summer Sunsplash series. 
      Despite a slightly 
        late call for open gates due to some security compromises, all traffic 
        flow was smooth. This delay however worked in favor of the party as it 
        gave early attendees a feel for just how big the event was with lines 
        that swirled around the parking lot. 
      With 5 stages spread 
        throughout the park, 3 DJ and 2 live performance, concert-goers had the 
        opportunity to sample all genres of music. Always a hit amongst Hawaiians 
        were the usual suspects BET, NATURAL VIBES and RED DEGREE, 
        who were jammin' the mellow vibes of Island Style Reggae. Another big 
        hit was the dancehall stage where all de latest reggae chunes and some 
        'oldies but goodies' revealed just how many Jamaicans were on the island. 
        Located in the middle of the park, it was a joy to skant your way thru 
        while moving from one live stage to another. 
      A disappointment was 
        the techno stage that was located in front of the food bar. The well lit 
        food bar didn't enhance the glow sticks of the few die hard techno junkies. 
        However, it wasn't long before the techno island was open... and the idea 
        of being surrounded by water on an island with blinking strobe lights 
        amidst the trees qualified as superb trance styles juggled by the world's 
        #1 in the business, KIMBALL COLLINS. 
      ELEPHANT MAN 
        buss up de dance and the show closed with THIRD WORLD, who brought 
        some Aloha spirit along with the island's favorites... REGGAE AMBASSADOR 
        and 96 DEGREES IN THE SHADE. 
      The show was a great 
        success with almost 10,000 attendees. It was an 18 and over event, which 
        worked by having allocated drinking areas. And since the closing hour 
        for clubs in Hawaii like most US states is 2am, having a show this big 
        with such acts running till 4am was a sure win! 
      Look out Hawaii... 
        3 Sexy Guys is your sure bet for great acts.... local and foreign!
