After our huge Weekender with DEEP MEDi we close the year with a Roots Rock Reggae special!

Presenting the world renowned
Channel One Sound System
Feat Mikey Dread & Ras Kayleb

Channel One join us for this all-night session bringing their hand-built sound and fully loaded dubplate box. They are one of the UK's best known and most loved reggae sound systems and we're very proud to have them bless the Teachings arena.

History: Having taken over the running of their father's sound in 1979, Mikey Dread and his brother Jah T took the sound to local blues parties and dances. Mikey played releases from the legendary Channel One studio in Jamaica, adopting the name of Channel One Sound System. In 1983, Channel One started playing at Notting Hill Carnival, their reputation and name grew from there.

With decades in the business this will be a night packed full of original dubplate pressure and maximum vibes start to finish.

Come get some teachings!

Sheffield's heavyweight
SINAI SOUND
With full crew

For those who don't know, Chef (founder of Sinai Sound System) served his apprenticeship with Iration Steppas, travelling the country and learning the ropes of soundsystem. He's since gone on to form his own sound with a dedicated team and over the past few years Sinai has become one of the main players at festivals and dances throughout the country and beyond, crossing genres and always guaranteeing the highest quality. They've just got back from powering the Subdub arena at Outlook Festival and are literally the talk of the scene right now. We feel it's the ideal time for them to step up and face-to-face with their teacher in the Teachings arena! Iration Steppas need little introduction, favourites at TID they hail from Leeds and are the 20 year strong Subdub residents. They've been mashing up dances since 1990 with their trademark 'year 3000' style of dubs and are without doubt one of the best roots sounds in the world.

'Caution: excessive sound levels' - earplugs are available at the bar for 50p
