Big up Brimstone Gold and Black Magic Sounds for repping on our final Sound System Fridays Radio Show, as well as Squidley (Klymaxx), Chris Dubbs and Fiine China (Reggaetown Radio) for passing through and blessing the show with their presence. Brimstone Gold arrived early but had issues with Serato failing to load up so they decided to leave and ge their own Serator Box, which eventually solved the issue. Even though they were Scarborough based, it would be near 10 [...]

Thanks to Step-a-Choice, Rebel Tone, Black Magic and Chris Dubbs for repping on this Friday Night Show.  I'm guilty of putting this line up together on the same day - wasn't sure if I was going to do a show as Sound System Fridays was "scheduled" to close, and this would be the last show I thought (it would turn out to be the second last).  Not much to say about this night, as nobody was there with anything to [...]

DJ Culcha repped his Gideon Sound with new music and fresh just-back-from Jamaica vibes on last week's Sound System Fridays broadcast.  I admit, I was already hyped after hearing DJ Culcha new music on his Rebel Music Radio Show on the previous Thursday (Regent Radio), so it made complete sense to invite him down.  Besides, DJ Culcha had already repped on ReggaeMania before, about a year ago, and had nothing to prove.  His intent was to present a show that [...]

Check out DJ Newby representing his Rebel Tone Sound fresh off his Modern Warfare victory over Cumtraxx and Twin Star sounds. Newby loves playing music, and stated to me that he was a "baby" when he won World Clash (2002), and back then, he had only a "handful" of dubs compared to today where he has "dubs to spare". This was a good show, and Newby was not afraid to talk the talk and further rub salt into the wounds [...]

Noble Works started off the juggling on Sound System Fridays, big up Ian and  Skillmore. They had been there before, and as professionals in their craft, they arrived just a few minutes after the 9pm kick off time to deliver another great performance on the show. Noble Works were slotted into the Friday Night show as a replacement for Mystic, originally scheduled but cancelled a few days earlier by the promoter of Modern Warfare, Toronto’s first Soundclash for 2014 scheduled [...]

This show was most enjoyable!  Sound System Fridays was blessed with two veteran foundation Sounds - Downbeat and Black Scorpio.  Both Sounds were in town to take part in 'Legends of Dancehall' - a half dance/half award show that was happening at the JCA later on that night.  Little did Downbeat and Black Scorpio know that they would be recognised and honoured for their contributions over the years with a Lifetime Achievement Award courtesy of King Turbo. Black Scorpio and [...]

Big Up Scottie and his Supa Loaded Sound.  Yeah,  the show got off to a bad start with the late arrival of this Sound (formerly Fully Loaded), but, by the time all was said and done, they put on a great show just under 80 minutes versus the scheduled 3 hours.  MC Scottie and his co-pilot Blaxz Dun Da Place (selector for Super Gold) tore it up!  Scottie has a big booming voice and he used it to his advantage [...]
