beach party at Horseshoe Bay Beach coming this weekend.

Shawn Perot, who has been a concert promoter since 1992, and has put on the 4 by 4 Beach Party Explosion for three years said concerns about security and pollution after his concerts were unfounded.

Saturday night's party will feature New York radio DJ Ron G who will spin records along with Bermuda's top DJs Playbwoy The Outlaw Movement, Malcolm (Lethal Weapon) Smith and Craig (Bubbles) Darrell.

A special event will be a swimsuit competition with a $1,000 first prize, and another $750 in runners-up prizes.

Tickets to the party, from 8.30 p.m. to 2 a.m., are available for $30 at Dub City and The 27th Century Boutique.

Entry forms for the swimsuit competition are available from China Black's Boutique.

"There will be something for everyone,'' Mr. Perot said yesterday. "I haven't made any changes with my security or clean up,'' he said.

"I have never had a problem with the Parks Department. Everyone knows I have the tightest security around. And my cleaning and sanitation crews are good at what they do.''
