Ten years ago, Osmosis was but an intimate bottle party held at a private poolside in Beverley Hills, now it has evolved into one of the biggest all-inclusive parties of the summer. And this year, Something Extra will bring you all the fun.

At Wednesday's launch held at Pure night club, the Mad Circle Entertainment family of Philip Palmer, Dean Shepherd and Jermaine Brown, gave patrons a prelude of what is to come at the the 10th anniversary party set for July 4, at the Caymanas Stables.

It was also an opportunity to launch the magazine featuring the best of Osmosis over the years.

Philip Palmer expressed his pleasure at the development. "It started from humble beginnings with about 400 patrons, a 10-foot long bar and complimentary food courtesy of Bojangles. Today, we have thousands of patrons, 30 feet of bar space and 14 of Jamaica's trendiest restaurants and caterers.

Thankful

The Mad Circle family notes that there have been challenges, especially with the economic downturn, but they are thankful to their many sponsors. The journey over the 10 years has been long but this year they will celebrate in a 'super-inclusive vibe'. Also, the plan is to merge the best elements of all the previous parties making this year's celebration an exciting and unforgettable event.
