We are a dancehall soundsystem and production crew from London.

We love playing dancehall live and loud, bringing energy and vibes to clubs and festivals round the world.

Our raucous Hot Wuk party has toured throughout the UK and we’ve performed all over Europe, Canada, USA, India, Australia and Jamaica.

We take our carnival stageshow to festivals like Glastonbury, Outlook, Reading, Leeds, Bestival, Boomtown, 51st State, Parklife, and Secret Garden Party.

You will find us at Notting Hill Carnival every August, playing on trucks, soundsystems, and at local afterparties.

We have produced music for Ding Dong, Stylo G, Mr Lexx, Vanessa Bling, Tippa Irie, Warrior Queen, Riko Dan, Keida and K More. Our single ‘Walk Out Gyal’ featuring Mr Lexx and Keida was shortlisted for Best Track of 2017 at Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide FM awards.

We present radio shows for Rinse FM, NTS and BBC 1Xtra and make mixes of our favourite tunes for your listening pleasure.

We have made remixes for Popcaan, RDX, Red Fox and TOK, and our bootleg edits are legendary.

Our releases get radio play from David Rodigan, Seani B, Toddla T, DJ Target, Bobby Konders, Mistajam, Tim Westwood, Robbo Ranx, Annie Mac, Ras Kwame, Lil C, Sian Anderson, DJ Nate, Tash LC, Jugglerz, and Federation Sound.

We love exploring how Jamaican music has influenced British club music like jungle, garage, grime, dubstep, and funky house. In 2008 we compiled ‘An England Story’ for Soul Jazz Records documenting a history of UK MCs with a dancehall flavour.

Since 2011 we have organised eight Showtime events, where British MCs pass the mic and ride dancehall riddims in classic soundsystem style, featuring artists like Wiley, General Levy, Lady Leshurr, Stylo G, Chip, Ghetts, Tippa Irie, Durrty Goodz, Gappy Ranks, Stush, Lady Chann, Frisco, Lady Lykez, Flowdan, Glamma Kid, Riko Dan, Top Cat, Rodney P, Skibadee, Sweetie Irie, Ragga Twins, YT, Mr Williamz, Maxwell D, Bushkin, Randy Valentine, Asher Senator, Lisa Mercedez, and Serocee.
