****SINAI SOUNDSYSTEM*****
Hailing from Sheffield, Sinai Sound System plays contemporary reggae and dub music presented in the traditional sound system style, fusing the boundaries between pro-audio and sound system culture.
The sound system in its full form was debuted in Sheffield to great acclaim in March 2014. Since then, it has gone from strength to strength pushing the boundaries of what a modern sound system can be.
As time has gone by the crew has increased to four full time members, each with their own specialised skill set; be it building boxes, creating new original music to play on the sound, promotion, maintenance and more. Working closely together with other Sheffield sound crews, working as a team, Sinai relies on its strengths and not just individual personalities.
Sinai Sound was also the first dub sound system to appear on the prestigious'Boiler Room', providing the sound system for Deep Medi in Nov 2015
With other sound system and DJ appearances at; SubDub, Deep Medi, ROOTS, One Love Festival, Dancehall Science, United Nations of Dub Festival, RubberDub, Bristol Dub Club, International Dub Gathering (Barcelona), Displace, Young Echo, Tumble Audio, Techtonic Records, Shak Out, Jungle Cat, Back to Basics, Deeper Than Roots, Dub Cub, Decades of Dub, Dusk Till Dawn, Love a Dub, Walk N Skank and many more!
Room 2
Chief Pukka Soundsystem
Also making the trip down from Steel City, these guys have had a very busy year from running their own Peace in Dub and Roots Den dances, to being a resident Sound at the sell out Sheffield night Roots! Weekly resident selection at Vibes alongside 20hz and Sinai, and daily ram-out slots at Ynot Festival have also been on the recent agenda.
Those who attended the Reggae Society session last year powereded by Chief Pukka will know what to expect from their crisp and weighty rig.
Andy Payback
(aka Andy Clarkeson)
Long time record collecter with a wealth of knowledge and love for the music. Known for some of the deadliest dancehall records in town with a keen knowledge of how and when to play them.
Bristol Reggae Society
Starting as a University society in 2005, Reggae Society have been promoting nights in the city for over 10 years now. Whilst maintaining the all-important link between the students and the Bristol reggae scene, they now put on a number of successful nights of their own. These include a popular monthly residency at Cosies, a new monthly slot at The Plough and a number of one-off soundsystem dances in between. Most notably, back in September Reggae Society took over the Black Swan for 15-hour marathon of roots and dubwise to celebrate their 10th birthday.
We're very excited to be back at the Swan to bring you more of a rubadub styled night with an equally strong line-up. Expect the usual tuff selection and horns-playing from Reggae Society crew around the tunnel all night alongside our friends and family.
