OBOA is a free, outdoor festival not far from Berlin. This year, Freedom Fighter Soundsystem and Maratone Long Distance teamed up to present a Soundystem Yard inside the walls of the old castle that is the festival site. They will not only bring their massive speakers but also friends who help building the floor, running the bar and playing music influenced by jamaican soundsystem culture – from R&B, Calypso and Ska to Reggae, Dub and Steppas.
Find all information (how to get there, FAQs) on the website of OBOA then.
Just two weeks after the Soundsystem Yard at OBOA you can hear us outdoors again. Find us at YAAM and join us for afro-caribbean food, rum and cocktails and a dance with good vibes only. Music from vinyl only will be played by The Soulvendor (Tropical Timewarp), Stefan (Such a Sound / Vintage Night), Ms Trouble & Polly S., Rudewoi & The Rhythm Ruler.

It is the cold and dark season of the year where everybody tends to stay home in their warm and cozy nest. But the Maratone crew will bring their soundsystem to the lovely Privatclub once again to brighten up your souls that might suffer from winter blues. The noise that you might hear that night is not another fire camp, but the sound of original (sometimes a bit crackly) jamaican vinyl that stood the test of time and the heavyweight bass bins will make your trousers flutter. From the greatest hits of the 60s and early 70s to some more obscure collectors’ treasures, Panza and The Rhythm Ruler will play their favourite records.
For this edition they will also bring another special guest from the UK who goes by the name of Artical Ranx. He learned the art of selecting and deejyaing from people like Peter Negus a.k.a Fatman / Negus Nagast INRI Sound in the early 80s. Since then he has been collecting and playing jamaican oldies in revival dances and soundclashes all over the place and is a household name in the London Revival Scene.
