[@mriley4305]

Sound System culture is so much more than were often led to think.

[@korbynharrison5899]

[@archersamson254]

[@korbynharrison5899]

@Archer Samson Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@korbynharrison5899]

Been in sound system since I was 15, was a singer for Scarpion hi power from Harlesden. Cut duplate at Terry Newman studios and Dub vendor at lavender Hill Clapham jct with gussie prento... No music lesson from school could teach me to sing to a crowd at 15, soundsystem is and was my music apprenticeship....

[@taroshimada3857]

[@chrisr5499]

What a lovely short documentary and seeing Sweetie Irie on it was great as bought his 1991 album. I would love to see a show on British Calypso as it was the Trindad sound that ruled in the 1950's

[@alimantado373]

In trinni not here!

[@escapetoamazon7675]

[@gigibee8881]

The Influence of UK Sound Systems, a great trip down memory lane prior to visiting Notting Hill Carnival 2017

[@Dubjaxfilms]

My first Notting Hill carnival was 1979, it was the first of 42 carnivals I've been to.

[@andygee8716]

Low (infrasonic) bass has its roots in fear. In nature, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, thunder, avalanches, tornadoes, and hurricanes provide that low warning bass of impending doom; things that humans and animals would naturally run away from. Over time we have turned that fear into euphoria via listening to huge sound systems in cars and venues. It is now more of a spiritual experience to feel those low frequencies pass through the body and cause natural movement, (dance).

[@soundtester]

Like... ARMAGIDEON A COME, haha!

[@Gary-vl7lp]

Yu are not one of us 😮I can tell.

[@buckyflex1]

I always describe Bass as not something you listen to or hear passively is something that's being done to you

[@wellersong7]

Absolutely

[@neilgibbons2532]

Please don't take this the😃 wrong way. But a DJ is like a magician without a trick 😁 i love you guys

[@outtayardstudio]

Hahahaha...🙏💯

[@awooga772]

It's true!

[@leonjones7229]

The dj is a scientist and magician. To make something happen with very little material, with no money, giving out good vibes and to make people dance is magical.

[@glenfordburrell9228]

I worked with a member of Saxon in a Chemist in Crystal palace in 1978!

[@cookielove8174]

Grew up with Relation Sounds 🎧🎤🎚️ & reminds me of the House Party scene trying to get all the boxes in the car "now where am I supposed to sit?"📦🚗🤨🤷🏾‍♀️😂

[@awooga772]

Every time haha

[@jacklynazure689]

😅😅

[@lifetimesofamultiplemediam1003]

Proppa Tingz, some great memories, like; Tippa going from King Tubby's to Saxon was like a top footballer million-dollar transfer signing. In fact, that was a watershed moment, because it brought Brixton and Lewisham together... Remember I told you!... Trussssssss.

[@peoplessound3335]

[@richmck007]

Ha! Trevor Nelson, you was a Soulhead just like me back in da’ day, but we love we music still. Sound system map should be exploited and sold! After visiting JA and seeing as well as feeling the REVERB from WARDROBE sized speakers with 12/15” bass bins and homemade not industrial horn tweeters, UK has few to compete with what they have back ah yard. Still, Sound-man bring sound-system kulture to the massive.

[@martinmatthews6728]

( can a west play - yes nd all now🎶🎶🎶🎶

[@mannimanni3942]

mjeeeeeez mjeeeeeeez

[@jeanlove8510]

Axis Sound System! Yo!

[@bobrew461]

Didn't mention that the jamaican people that came over (their parents?) held their own house parties BEFORE soundsystems were around. The "soun's" didn't just spring up because people couldn't get into clubs and pubs; eventually DJs were wanted for said parties... ...then for events in halls...(which is where the Carnival started in Kings Cross - not on the streets of Notting Hill!) ...THEN...DJs and their soun's on the street.

[@DonGoliath]

I remixed all my Steppers tunes from a few years back. They all sound wicked now, please give them a listen!

[@chrisr5499]

Tariq nasheed n every American hip-hop fan needs to see this!!!

[@DarkAngel2512]

Who is Tariq Nasheed and why do American hip hop heads need to see this? You mean because of the sound system culture? I wonder whether that was already happening before Herc moved there. Disco Mario had his own parties going before Herc from what people say.

[@sioul8485]

Soundsystem culture is largely what created hip hop in the US…..just instead of reggae they played funk breaks….

[@DarkAngel2512]

What came first? The chicken or the egg? Just because Yanks had their own version doesnt mean it was copied from Jamaica. Its likely people had house/street parties or bbqs already and eventually they decided to just use bigger speakers. Same as Jamaicans.

[@TheAtomC]

Wrong, brothers were playing their music out on the parks before Herc. American Blacks wasn't into reggae in the 70's, it was breakbeats, funk and some disco.

[@jenniferdouglas6636]

Influenced by the Mods? Surely the Mods were Influenced by our brothers???!!

Lord Kitchener was the first MC when you look at it and the first Caribbean star was Ken Snakehips Johnson in the 1930's/40's until the germans sadly killed him
