It was a pleasure to have two quality sounds grace our ReggaeMania Radio studio for Sound System Fridays on January 18th – inside was Jamaica’s legendary Richie Poo representing Silverhawk Sound, alongside Killa D reppin' LP International Sound out of Flatbush, NY.  They were passing through as a prelude to the REAL STEEL event that was scheduled for Saturday night at Hickory House also featuring King Turbo (promoters of the event) and early warm-up by Don Rankin. I was a [...]

Don Rankin brought it last Friday Night - arriving early and bringing their own machine.  MC and Don Rankin President Fouti Rankin was first to select and play the sound, accompanied by his full-time selector Curry.  The crew kept it easy, but, fast tempo for the first half-hour, after overcoming the turbulence, quickly steadied down to deliver one of the more entertaining shows seen on Sound System Fridays. It wouldn't come down to playing 'all dubplates' all night as some [...]

King Judah is a young sound from Scarborough who have already won a 45 clash (where dubs also had to be played) and have achieved the respect from both friends and foes in Toronto's vibrant Sound System fraternity.  To date, they are the youngest sound to make an appearance on ReggaeMania Radio - Sound System Fridays.  The night featured a presentation of dubs and 45's, as this sound would not be drawn into the 'all dubplate' styled shows delivered by [...]

DJ Tyrone is one of Canada's top Reggae DJ's, proven by his long reign as resident DJ at past nightclubs including Club Paradise and Club Epiphany, and also his time spent with Super Gold (USA), and Soul To Soul (Canada) as well as Downbeat Sound, where Tyrone claims, he became the first DJ from Canada to participate in a World Clash.  I invited Tyrone to Sound System Fridays to host the last show of 2012 and although he [...]

It is impossible to speak of Sound Clash in Toronto and Canada and not talk about Super Fresh Sound.  This high energy Canadian war sound was created in 1991 by founding members Double Six aka Father Six and DJ ShortMan (currently residing in Jamaica).  Later, Prophet, Fire Kid Steenie (now solo) and Milo were added to the sound. Many people know of my dark history with Super Fresh.  To put it bluntly, if King Turbo (I use them [...]

Tasha Rozez repped for Gunz'N'Rozez by playing harrrd.  Not only is she the world's number one female selector /clash champion, she is also Canada's most traveled 'soundman' and is the first female to host Sound System Fridays.  After a 10 PM start time, Tasha delivered some of her exclusive dubs and specials that we haven't heard her play in sometime.  Afterall, it WAS Sound System Fridays, she could play and say as she pleased. Tasha wasn't in a talkative mood, [...]

DOWNLOAD | Watch It On RMTV (Ustream) Heatwave started out as a Kingston, Jamaica sound during the early 80's.  Certain things happened and now Heatwave, a sound founded by Bobby Digital, resides here in Canada where Spragga Roots is at the controls and sometimes, Lindo P.  If you love Reggae classics from the 80's and 90's - Shabba, Ninja Man, Sanchez etc. then this is where you might hear dubs by the aforementioned artistes that you've never heard before.  [...]

Big Up Soul Survival Sound! - MC Bumpy Rage and DJ Junior Selector delivered an intense delivery of dub plates, mixing and patter that gave anyone listening an exciting feeling of being inside of a sound clash!  After hearing a few minutes of this sound play, it was obvious that they had a plan - it was to be the first Sound on Sound System Fridays to play all dubs (no 45's) - Rootsman was the first sound to drop [...]

Your browser does not support the audio element DOWNLOAD | Watch It On RMTV (Ustream)   Tonight's show was entertaining from start to finish - starring DJ Fat Kat of Military Sound (Allan Ladd couldn't make it) and Canada's own Michie Mee.  I liked how Fat Kat paced himself - upping the tempo, bit by bit, whilst delivering a good balance of dubs, new riddims and hit singles spiced right with jingles and sound effects.  He even took to the [...]
