ELECTRIC DANCEHALL - PORTA PRODUCTIONS

Since we started to play we had to chance to make tons of links with producers and artist in Jamaica. We were, for example, the first sound in Switzerland to voice Busy Signal on dubplate, we discovered Di Genius and Chino before all the Big Ship craze and were always ready to play new artists in our sets.

We recently made links with a young and talented producer from Jamaica called Richie Porta, who just launched is first riddim called Electric Dancehall. The riddim features new artists such as Zazabella, Al-Beeno, Ras Oneily, Bobby Wondder and Tekstyle about whom we are certainly going to ear a lot more in the Dancehall fraternity

Tekstyle

Make shure to have a listen on the riddim and keep an eye on Porta Productions as he is about to work with our good friends Jagwa and Tsunami...

BUJU BANTON GUILTY

Jamaican Reggae Grammy winning super star Mark Myrie aka Buju Banton aka Gargamel was found guilty on three of the four charges brought against him in the United States Middle District Court, Florida Division.

Mr. Myrie was charged with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute five or more kilogrammes of cocaine, attempted possession with the intent to distribute cocaine and using the wires to facilitate a drug-trafficking offence. He was found not guilty on the weapons posession charge.

Buju Banton faces now up to 15-20 years in prison... His attorneys indicated that if Buju had taken a deal before the start of the trial he would have received a 2-3 years sentence however this was rejected by Banton and his legal team.

Word out is that there are possibilities that there could be an appeal by the defence team... The Jamaican music fraternity is already raising funds for the artist endeavours hereafter

Definetly a sad day in Reggae/Dancehall history...
