Renaissance Disco to Celebrate Anniversary with Flight # 19

The sound promises to take revellers on a musical journey at Flight # 19.  In the weeks leading up to the event, lots of prizes and surprises will be in store. Renaissance Disco's resident selectors and other guests will ensure that patrons party like they've never partied before.

Suspect in Florida's Triple Murder Nabbed in Kingston

The suspect in the murder of Poison Dart sound system selectors, Chris Rock aka Michael Rattigan, Tony Montana aka Antonae Neely and their friend Kevin Webster, who goes by the name 'Indian', was nabbed in Kingston, Jamaica by a joint operation by the local police and their American counter parts.

It was an incident which shocked the music fraternity. According to reports coming from Tampa, Florida, the selectors and a group of men got in a heated argument over a sound clash, while they were playing at the Thunderbird Bar in Auburndale, Florida where they play every Friday. Chris Rock reportedly 'backed them off' and the men left.

The men returned the following week and opened fire on the three. Tony Mantana and Chris Rock died on the spot while Webster died at the neighbouring hospital.

Chris Rock, more senior of the two, was a well known selector who played on top sound systems such as Body Guard and Nite Tracks, both based in May Pen, Clarendon, Jamaica.

He and Tony Montana were integral members of the Poison Dart sound system which is based in Tampa, Florida.

Indian is scheduled to b extradited to the United States to stand trial for the triple murders.
