ENTITY · VENUE

Quad

Probable

New Kingston's first multi-level nightclub, four floors under one roof, each its own room: Oxygen (dancehall to a young crowd), Voodoo ("oldies," reggae through early-1990s dancehall), Christophers (jazz and dining), and Taboo (a basement gentlemen's club). Resident DJs Alric and Boyd played Oxygen through its most popular run. Now permanently closed.

Story · Well supportedJamaica's nightclub circuit

Not every Jamaican dance happened under the sky. From 1930s society clubs to Portmore's dancehall rooms, some of it happened behind a cover charge, a bar and a roof.
