Whiteout 2004 at Risky BusinessFresh from Trinidad Carnival, Oscar B and newcomer Keisha, demonstrated the newest dance moves, Jumby and Craziness, and sang a string of new soca hits as well as old Jamaican favourites done soca style. The crowd went wild with their version of Sammy Dead and Passion, but what put the icing on the cake was the duo's rendition of Elephant Man's Pon di River, Pon di Bank.

Keeping with the theme, many revellers wore white and got down and dirty to the music which was extraordinary.

DJ Sunshine from Irie FM took to the turntables, after the band took a break, where she unleashed some jumping Reggae hits from Half Pint's Greetings to Sean Paul's Gimme The Light, she put her spin on the first Jamaica Carnival 2004 event. Grammy award-winning artist Marion 'Lady Saw' Hall, as well as several MTV big wigs, were in the house to soak up some good music, fun and entertainment.

When the band returned to the stage, there was even more delightful pandemonium as Oscar B had the crowd obeying his every command, running back and forth across the beach and doing some of the most outrageous dance moves. Before midnight the venue was solidly packed with patrons gyrating and jumping to the bubbly sounds.

Founder of Jamaica Carnival, Byron Lee, was in high spirits and was delighted with the huge turnout.
