Sound System Link Up

The day has finally come for Malta’s very first Sound System link up! Zion invites local sound systems, Island Rockers and Back to the Roots for a back to back session in the yard, which is set to become a milestone for reggae culture in Malta. Sound systems have played an important role throughout the history of reggae music by providing a platform for artists to bring their music to the people. Over the years this has become an international phenomenon with sound system culture spreading all over the world to the point that we even have 2 sounds on this tiny Mediterranean island! We’ll start nice and easy in the afternoon with some roots reggae and classic dub and progress to higher energy sound system stepper style selections later in the evening. The concept is simple: one yard, two sounds, playing 30 mins each rotating throughout the day whilst showcasing the very best tunes in their collections. Re-Volt and Earthrocker will be selecting for their sounds, alongside top local selectors Salted Dread, DJ Loco, Yabadub and Dubdaboon. To top it all off, Zion's BBQ menu will also feature some mouthwatering Jamaican Jerk specials to add to the cultural celebration, so come down early to grab some delicious food, and you can also bring your swimsuit to cool down with a quick dip at the beach. See you at the dance!
