Roots Reggae & Dub

Hello everyone.

My first post here.

I have been here in Basel for just over a year now. Moved over from London.

I am big into reggae/ dub. Been to all the usual place in Basel - Annex, ABX Bar and even played/dj on a couple of occasions.

I have my own sound system and vintage / new roots reggae collection.

I am looking for a local Basel venue where I could string up the sound system and run some tunes for the people on maybe a monthly basis.

Anyone here into root & culture / dub.

Any ideas / tips on social venues / church halls / community centres which allow for a thumping bass and a happy face..??

So far I have not seen a roots scene here in Swiss. More of a dancehall / slackness music which is not me..ragga ragga...

A bit different from the UK where we still have a big roots scene (underground)..Jah Shaka, Fatman, Jah Tubbys, Coxsone, APS, Aba-Shanti, Jah Observer, Kin Earthquake and many others...

It all starts with de roots..

Nice one

irie

Jes

Re: Roots Reggae & Dub

irie!

Hello and welcome to the Forum

Just returned from a fascinating vernissage for the latest Voice magazine Jamaica edition at the Zurich Razzia. A truly great soundsystem courtesy of Russel Hergert, Terry Lynn and the K7 studio. Pity you're in Basel! Check out the photography of The Afflicted Yard aka Pete Rickards. It'll be going on 'till the early hours, if you're about...
