YFM, Ghana’s number one radio station brought Purple Pub to a standstill last night with its October bash dubbed ‘Roctober’.
Rocktober is a music packed activation meant to thrill audience on ground and on air with a master playlist from YFM’s coolest disc jockeys, hosted by Nockus with his silky baritone voice to die for.
With speakers blazing a whopping eleven thousand (11,000) decibels of sound power, patrons who gathered at the ‘Purple Pub’ for the ‘Friday Nite Mix Train’ defied the rain to dance their hearts out.
Nockus and Kojo Manuel who were the emcees of the night kept patrons engaged from start till the end of the show.
Masters of the turntable DJ Loft, DJ Pak, DJ kiss, among others took turns on the turntable to mix some Afrobeats, Hip Hop, Old School Music and Reggae songs.
Programmes Manager of YFM, Eddy Blay, made known the purpose and future of the Rocktober initiative.
“YFM has always been committed to serving its loyal listeners with the very best of music. This month of October is very special and we also want listeners to feel special. That is why we have brought radio to them so they can interact with their favorite DJs and emcees. I was taken aback when I saw people trooping in amidst the rains. The fun part is that this is just the first edition of the Friday Nite Mix Train. So I urge all listeners to expect YFM at the next night spot near them”, he said.
