Electro Tech Productions recently completed the installation of audio video works for the new Golden Eye Resorts in Orocabessa and to consult with the entertainment team there.
ElectroTech managing director Peter Shoucair says the deal came out of long-standing collaboration between his firm and the Chris Blackwell-held Island Outpost, of Goldeneye is one of the member properties. In addition to having previously designed and installed a state of the art lighting and video system for Reggae Explosion at the Island Village Jamaica in Ocho Rios, Electro Tech will also be upgrading lights for the Island Village main stage.
Goldeneye, on the north coast, is famed for having been home to James Bond author Ian Flemming, who, it is said, came to the property on a repeated basis and wrote all of the legendary spy novels there. It is now the site of an ultra high-end resort already enjoyed and sought after by the likes of US President Bill Clinton and Hollywood star Scarlett Johanssen. The 52-acre estate now encompasses 23 units — 11 new beach cottages, six new lagoon suites, Fleming's original villa and the five villas built by Blackwell.
For Shoucair and ElectroTech, the commission is the latest in a long string of top-level assignments with international entities involved. These include the World Travel Awards, held at the Sandals Whitehouse property (the first time the annual awards has ever been held in Jamaica), the ABC Radio Networks Island Jam (2006 -09); the Jamaica 360 held at Grand Lido Braco and featuring well-known actor-comedian Eddie Griffin, hip-hop legends the Jungle Brothers and more; the SHAKTI Love Fest Jamaica charity event (October 2009) which featured multi-platinum artist Shaggy in Oct 2009. This event raised over 4M dollars for the Bustamante Hospital for Children, thanks to Shakti.

Shoucair and ElectroTech also help to build Jamaica’s reputation for world-class technical entertainment capabilities through their work on the US Embassy’s popular Jazz on the Green Concert series (ElectroTech coordinated for three years), the installation and later upgrade of audio and light at the Rose Hall nightclub and their ongoing work with the likes of “happening” Kingston nightspot, Fiction.
