🔊 Women in Soundsystem 🔊

Not only did we get the opportunity to meet Jamz Supernova backstage at Beatherder this year…she then invited us to do a section for her Women in Soundsystem special on BBC Radio 6 Music 😱🤯

We feel so blessed to be included in a show alongside artists and sounds like Linett Kamala , Black Obsidian Soundsystem and Sisters In Dub who are making big waves in the scene!

Also massive big up to Silas and team for putting together a great show - it was so well curated from start to finish and, although we cringe at the sound of our own voices (because when recording for some reason we forget how to speak like normal humans 😅) and hindsight showed us so many more things we could have said, we’re proud of what we put out and hope that it came across well 😌

Respect to all the other sistrins/beings repping Soundsystem culture! We see you and look forward to witnessing our continued elevation through this male-dominated scene 💪🏾✨

Bless up to the people who followed us since listening to the show - welcome to our journey 💚

More exciting updates coming real soon but until then, if you’re about in Leeds next week, we’d love to see you at our vinyl-only roots session at Hyde Park book club alongside Impressa Sound System 🎛️

Nuff love to Irie Vibes Sound System for having us last weekend and hosting a great night - it was truly a vibe! From the skanking crew holding down the dance floor, to the head boppers preeing at the side, big up to everyone who came out and supported us.

The following week we’ll be at Vegan Camp Out from 26th July with Slipshod Faire alongside talented DJs and circus performers bringing good vibes and dutty bass lines. The festival will be held in honour of the late great Benjamin Zephaniah who was meant to be playing with his band this year 🕊️

Northern Green Gathering is back on 15th August and we’re so grateful to be a part of it again. We’ll be playing on the Reaction Bike-Power stage with a beautiful collection of humans, commonly known as the Reaction Crew ♻️💚

Also look out for us at Kelburn Garden Party in July serving wholesome junk food with our good friends Earthworm Kitchen 🪱 🍔 🌱

Lastly, check out our new stickers designed by yours truly and beautifully printed by Tacky & Upsetting 🎨 Big thanks to Jay for the lovely stickers and also for scaring the life out of us when we opened the box! 😅🕷️

~ Dr Benjamin Obadiah Iqbal Zephaniah ~

An incredibly inspirational writer, poet, actor, musician and activist who passed away yesterday after being diagnosed with a brain tumour just 8 weeks ago.

Benjamin was very outspoken about the racial injustices people face here in the UK and overseas. He spent his life working towards dismantling systems of oppression and tirelessly campaigning for racial justice, animal rights and many other social issues.

He was offered an OBE but turned it down explaining, “The OBE means ‘Order of the British Empire’. MBE is ‘Member of the British Empire’. I’ve been fighting against the empire all my life. I’ve been fighting against slavery and colonialism all my life. I’ve been writing to connect with people, not to impress governments and monarchy. So how could I then go and accept an honour that puts the word ’empire’ onto my name? That would be hypocritical” Dr Zephaniah, we salute you for being a real one! 🫡

He was also a voice against homophobia; in one interview he said, "For many years Jamaica was associated with freedom fighters and liberators, so it hurts when I see that the home of my parents is now associated with the persecution of people because of their sexual orientation.
I believe it is my duty to call upon all the progressive people of Jamaica, and those who have an interest in the political and cultural life of the country to take a stand against homophobia."

Benjamin was vegan before most of us knew what a vegan was, he believed in creating a peaceful world for all beings. We were really looking forward to seeing him perform at Vegan Camp Out next year, his presence will be greatly missed.

Like lots of other kids in the UK, we both had the privilege of meeting Benjamin when he visited our schools. I remember the first time I saw him, he came into my classroom to read us poetry and I was so in awe of him. Seeing a man who had black skin and locs like my dad walk into the room and inspire us all, gave me a feeling of pride that I will never forget.

His legacy will live on through his life’s work and he will continue to inspire us, always ✨

Rest in Power King 👑 ❤️💛💚

The legendary Dub pioneer, Jah Shaka, has passed on over to the Ancestral Realm.

We give thanks for his life, the musical blessings and the inspiration that he brought to us and so many others.

We are so grateful for what you have taught us and brought to the culture.

You delivered a message of peace and shone your Light wherever you played. May we continue to keep that Light alive with your guidance and ever-presence.

“Some people might dream mentally, but I get my dreams through my ears, so therefore I expect certain things and when I hear it I know it. That’s the kind of music we play - which reaches the heart - really it’s a heartbeat music.” Jah Shaka 1984
