Island Rockers Sound System

Tomorrow marks a historical day for reggae and dub culture in Malta as Island Rockers and Back to the Roots sound systems JOIN FORCES for a session celebrating the international sound system phenomenon in Malta!!

12/06/2024

📢 The day has finally come for Malta’s very first Sound System link up! Zion invites local sound systems, Island Rockers and Back to the Roots for a back to back session in the yard, which is set to become a milestone for reggae culture in Malta.

🔊 Sound systems have played an important role throughout the history of reggae music by providing a platform for artists to bring their music to the people. Over the years this has become an international phenomenon with sound system culture spreading all over the world to the point that we even have 2 sounds on this tiny Mediterranean island!

🎶 We’ll start nice and easy in the afternoon with some roots reggae and classic dub and progress to higher energy sound system stepper style selections later in the evening. The concept is simple: one yard, two sounds, playing 30 mins each rotating throughout the day whilst showcasing the very best tunes in their collections. Re-Volt and Earthrocker will be selecting for their sounds, alongside top local selectors Salted Dread, DJ Loco, Yabadub and Dubdaboon.

🔥 To top it all off, Zion's BBQ menu will also feature some mouthwatering Jamaican Jerk specials to add to the cultural celebration, so come down early to grab some delicious food, and you can also bring your swimsuit to cool down with a quick dip at the beach. See you at the dance!

🗓️Date: Sunday 30th June
🕐Time: 16:00 - 22:00
🎟️Entrance: Free!

8th October we celebrate 10 years of Bass Culture inna Malta! 🥳 🎶 🙌🏼 🧡

Bass Culture’s official celebration of a decade of Dub events in Malta has arrived, and we’d love to celebrate this milestone with you in a special dance featuring another renowned international Dub artist whom we’ve been saving for this unique occasion.

🦊👑 Empress of the Scottish sound system culture scene, V***n Sound cut her teeth as the first female member of both Mungo's Hi Fi and Sinai Sound. Having shared stages with the likes of OBF, Manudigital, Channel One Soundsystem, Aba Shanti, and numerous other artists, her ability to read a crowd and select exactly what they need is guaranteed to get you skanking.

🔥 Bass Culture resident selectors Dubdaboon, Yabadub and Earthrocker will be dropping a special selection of past and present Dub anthems that have rocked our dancefloors over the last decade, all powered by the mighty Island Rockers Sound System. This will be our last dance of the year, so make sure you don’t miss out on this afternoon session in a beautiful setting under the trees of Marrakech at Gianpula Village

Rest in Power Jah Shaka, the mighty Zulu Warrior ❤️💛💚 🎚🔊🎶🙌

It’s a sad day today, as we say farewell to my friend Knocky, the Zulu warrior, Aka Jah Shaka. Shaka played a huge part in the establishing of AriwA
In the very early days he would book the studio by the days, and later we shared a building in Gautrey Road Peckham, with Jah Shaka Music operating from the 2nd floor
The international popularity of Dub music would not have happened without Jah Shaka
Huge loss to the Reggae Fraternity, with many Shaka imitators all over the world, from Spain to New Zealand. The Roots Warrior, King of the steppers cannot die!

Our first Dub event of the year with Bass Culture 🔥🔥🔥

Bass Culture is back with our first in a series of events celebrating a decade since our first Dub event back in 2013! 🥳 Following the awesome day full of mad vibes we had at last year’s Easter Sunday event, we thought it would be the perfect date to kick off the celebrations for 10 years of Dub in 2023! 🎉

Over the last decade, finding the right venue for our events has been somewhat of a chore ...so we’re super excited that for this year’s Bass Culture events, we’ve locked in a wicked outdoor venue packed with trees and vegetation, central yet away from the chaos of the cities, and with ample parking available on site! Marrakech at Gianpula Village certainly ticks all the right boxes and we can’t wait to host our first event there. 🤩

Our good friend Exotica Radio will be warming up the day with a selection of Caribbean vibes, promising something different to get your body moving and your waists winding nice and early. 😎 Bass Culture residents Yabadub, Dubdaboon and Earthrocker will be delivering their selections of skanking riddims and earth-shaking bass lines we’ve all grown to love, all powered by the heavyweight sound of Island Rockers Sound System. 🎚️🔊🎶

Most of all, we are looking forward to celebrating our journey so far with the uplifting vibes of the Bass Culture family back on the dancefloor! 💃🕺
