Words by Emily Shapiro—
Mr. Vegas’ “Party Tun Up” has been heating up clubs for a while and now the song—Vegas’ biggest since “Bruk it Down”—has an official video. And, much like the “Bruk It Down” video, it’s all about the dancers.
Vegas packs sets in New York (including one of our favorite Downtown NYC spots, Spur Tree Lounge) and Jamaica with gorgeous women in spandex—including some familiar faces from Youtube—hailing from all over Europe, the US, Japan and Jamaica. Not to be outdone by the choreography, he takes slackness to a new level by bouncing his pecs to the beat midway through. (Actually, the pec bouncing is from a YouTube vid by a guy named Pac de Roll.) Switching over to Vegas’ new song “Whine Up” at the end, the video then turns into a whine off between dancers Aya, Kizzy and DHQ Mad Michelle.
