The list of musicians and singers involved in this project is simply incredible: Ken Boothe, Cedric Myton, Winston McAnuff, Robbie Lynn… We can’t wait for the summer, this is one of the reasons. Save the date!

UPDATE: Summer has arrived and some great news too. The Lineup is confirmed and Horace Andy will join the singers and musicians mentioned above. The venue is quite big but better be safe than sorry and get yourself a ticket in advance.

We’re glad to announce that our Rhythm Ruler will play records for the warmup and some after show drinks in the beergarden.

UPDATE2: Find some pictures of the show at reggaeinberlin.com

Tickets for the Soundclash on Friday, September 27th and Reggae Rumble on the 28th are now availble for only 20 EUR, please write a message through our contact form if you would like to buy one. If you only need a ticket for friday night, you can get it through the YAAM Ticketshop. Capacity is quite limited this year. We highly recommend to buy tickets in advance to avoid the disappointment of not being allowed in.

You can also buy a screenprint of the artwork by Chema Skandal for 25 EUR. The prints will be limited to 30 copies, only 20 of these will be available in Europe. They come handnumbered and signed by the artist in the size of 18 x 24″ (457 x 610 mm).

UPDATE: The prints are sold out! Tickets are still available, don’t sleep on these.

We wouldn’t really call the tiny boxes hanging in the backroom of this bar a ‘proper sound’ but we’re a soundsystem, so our standards a somewhat high. The lineup is great and the bar well equipped so it will probably be a great night anyway. If you’re somewhere in the south of Germany that weekend you should catch up with our Rhythm Ruler at Reggae Hit The Town München.

Dresden is not far from Berlin and definitely worth the trip on the 27th of April. Two of our selectors will play their records at Ostpol, a cosy venue with a proper PA and a nice dancefloor. Join them for a night of jamaican vintage sounds at Wine and Grine.

After the success of last year’s soundclash we’re running another one this year. Better save the date and book your flights soon. We’ll make it a weekender with an allnighter on saturday, so will be worth the travels. More info soon.

We love this short teaser by the man from Hamburg and look forward to a great night at the Maratone Rocksteady Club on saturday at Privatclub. See you on the dancefloor!

You probably know many of the photographs of jamaican artists and soundsystem culture shot by Adrian Boot for Urban image. He has been working for the last year with the production team at Standard 8 and Mykaell Riley director of the Bass Culture Music Unit at the University of Westminster to try and make this, how he calls it ‘slightly over ambitious exhibition project’ happen. If you plan travelling to London within the next weeks or you live there, you shouldn’t miss what looks like a very interesting exhibition.

Sweet Sensation
The opening night for Reggae Steady Soul 2018 will also be the 14th anniversary & the very last Sweet Sensation, so better don’t miss it. As always you will get to hear Jamaican Ska, Rock Steady and Original Reggae as Rudewoi, Smart Soul, The Rhythm Ruler & their special guests present the best of the golden age of Jamaican music.

One of the most active contemporary bands influenced by jamaican music will be back on the stage of SO36.

The band’s musical style is distinct from their contempories; a mix of early Jamaican music with classic 50’s and 60s American styles. There are influences from 50s and 60s Rock’n’Roll, Rythmn and Blues, Jazz and Latin music. Singer Vic Ruggiero has coined the term ‘Jamaican Rock’nRoll.’ to describe it. He says, “The band might play a classic Jamaican style but the vocals are distinctly American east coast, revealing the obvious connection of Jamaican music to the Doo-Wop of Harlem and the Bronx.” Source: http://www.theslackers.com
