Are they using 15s or 18s and if so, are they using Fanes Colossus?
Thanks for doing this! This was super cool and informative
Love this!
BOOMSHAKALAC.... Beautiful Culture ❤️💛💚🙏
Keep Roots Music alive!
Forgive me Lord.
Superb piece this.
This form of art form is death and stinking in Jamaica. Today's Jamaicans are more into a hybrid hip hop sound-Reggae,dub are now consider by today's Jamaican youths as being old,dull and boring. I am so glad the music is surviving outside of Jamaica.
LOVE
7:07 Nothing wrong with the bass at Chanel 1 let me tell you. First hand. It’s warm and strong.
Cool guys.
Love it ❤❤❤
Anybody know what song is playing at the end of the video?
Thx u too exist ¡!
I wonder when did the use of hifi equipment started being used, because in Jamaica the first mobile djs used pa systems nothing special according to Coxson Dodd who had the first sound system in Jamaica. Remember "sound system" in Jamaica is another way of saying mobile dj, not a literal sound system.even though it is(in the states.mobile dis used to say disco, i.e., infinity disco, fire disco). They were emulating american radio djs who did jive talking before playing music, this is why They used one turntable, and talking between songs..
The use of two turntables for mixing started in nyc with disco djs. The earliest known is 1965 with Grandmaster flowers, but Francis grasso is credited for it in 1968
In NYC the disco djs used to have the massive sound systems outside at the parks for the kids who couldn't get into the discos, which ended up being the birth of hip hop. The only documentary on this subject is founding fathers here on RUclips.
Hip hop historians are foul for not telling The truth on hip hop origins for so long. I think they want the shine, and most people associate disco with homosexuality, but early disco was nothing but Black American dance music being played at the discoteques, hence disco music. Stuff that radio didn't play
Black American djs don't get the credit they deserve for influencing so many styles. From influencing Jamaican djs in the 1950's when they would pick up the radio signals in Florida and got them to bring toasting to recorded music with artists such as u-roy, and count matchuki to influencing nyc djs to end up creating rap music, and ultimately house music.
I give Jamaicans props for telling their history, black Americans allow others to tell ours, and they got it wrong for so long, but things are changing now, thankfully, because of the internet, and people telling their story.
@RealDeal, Jamaicans via DJ Kool Herc invented hip-hop....I don't really know what tou are saying....
@@TafariDesign alright man, whatever you say. I'm not arguing with people about this anymore, it's 2020, you have books, interviews with the actual inventors themselves, and RUclips to learn hip hop history in depth
If you choose to talk myths that is your choice, but no one who did the work will take you serious, such as myself, so I'm not arguing back, and forth, wasting my energy. Peace
@@RealDealy man just shut the fck up and stop talking fake facts......DJ Kool Herc is the inventor of Hip Hop.....check Gogle and Wikipedia.....why you hating? Because you're jealous that it's a Jamaican? Get a life man! Jamaica is a musical superpower.....Jamaica is like the Giza Pyramids of music.....just sit down lil man lol
@@RealDealy All the people who started hip hop in America were from the Caribbean or of Caribbean decent( also puerto ricans). Hip hop was created in a Caribbean community called the Bronx. It is still a Caribbean community to this day. 80 percent of the pioneer of Hip-Hop is of Caribbean decent. Coxson Dodd was not the first sound system in Jamaica either, just the first one to become popular.
@@donovanedwards4513 why do people just make up stuff knowing someone, somewhere will make them look crazy with facts?
I'm not gonna go into a teaching class, but answer these questions please?
1-if West Indians created hip hop why didn't it happen in London, Toronto, or Miami? They went to those places as well during the 70's?
2-are you are calling Kool Herc a liar when he said Jamaican sound systems had nothing to do with what he was doing because he was emulating American sound systems? He said this on his combat Jack interview, as well as his Davey d interview
Please answer directly, and no run arounds
Btw, you are really showing your ignorance because downbeat sound system WAS the first sound system in Jamaica. You can't be Jamaican talking like that.
I'm from NYC, and the Bronx is not a carribean community, especially back then unless you are speaking on Puerto Ricans, and Puerto ricans was not crazy about hip hop until the 80's with rocksteady crew breaking. Grandmaster caz tells a story on vladtv about charlie chase having to fight other ricans because theu would diss him for hanging with black americans, and doing that "moreno music"
Yes, west indians have sections there but not the whole Bronx, you know how many people live there?
Kool herc said Jamaicans were getting dissed back then, and thrown in trashcans, that was the gang era. Listen to his accent, it's not straight Jamaican, its.because he hing with black Americans when he came at 12 years old. He said his Jamaican friends would look at him funny because he didn't just hang with them,.but he wasn't scary, and played basketball. That's how he got the name herc, its short for herculoid
Babylon shall Fall!

The perception of sounds that we receive in our mind through our ears will truly touch the heart but the interpitation will be different for each one PS the african ears would be the one to master the sense of sound
The Original man
James Marvosa And originator of almost every version of modern music today. We have to look at things like polka to find exceptions.
I would put the turntable a little bit higher ...
what is the brand of the colored speakon cables?
Whats the Intro tune?
Kings Dub

How do they do a show with 1 turntable?
Talk with the audience, Dub effects like delay and reverb, perhaps a siren or two. That's why there's a person on the mic, one on the selection, one for the Preamp Mixer, often one or more for the power etc... It's a community based form of Culture.
@@s90210h ah nice, ive seen selectors play before but was on 2 decks
@@celectrics650 How it USED to be done from the 60s onwards. With one turntable and a mic man. Proper sound sytem.
One tune at a time man. One tune. Seen!

best sound sistem in the world: Funktion ONE !
are you dumb? (sorry this is a Flodan line)
But seriously go see the RC1 if you think Funktion One is the greatest
L-Acoustics, d&b, Adamson, Meyer, Coda...these are the best PA system in the world.
James Stephenson it’s not all about loudest or bassists system, I heard the funktion One in different clubs, the imaging in them is perfect ! In a pitch black room u can not tell where are the speakers ... will listen to a RC1 sound system when i have the chance live... on youtube.. u can not tell :)
Dan Veneri did not know about about most of them system’s u just mention .. will have a look 👀 at them , i am more fan of a original sound system with a FLAT equilibrium and not many amplifiers. I like the sound of cone shape speaker :) yeah. This is just my opinion
Danley soundlabs tops everything
they talk a lot about that sound system, yet theres a couple line arrays in the venue.
Soundsystems are often asked to play in venues where music is a regular thing. This means the in-house fixed installed system is often there too. But this does not mean it is used during the Soundsystem event.
s90210h speaks the truth, promoters need to either hire their own sound in dedicated club venues because their in house sound wasn't set up to handle the frequencies that dub, reggae, dubstep or drum n bass go down to. Their rigs are set up for top 40 pop music which is mainly 80 - 100hz not 20 - 80hz
Channel 1 are well known for bringing wherever possible their own sound system. C-1 loves stack 2 walls of PA on each side of the space so the punters can dance right in the middle. The venue in this video is the Village Underground in Shoreditch London where C-1 host a monthly event. The in house PA is a d&b and it's well capable to reproduce any sort of music genre, from techno to pop to classical ( www.villageunderground.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Sound-spec-2019-2.pdf ). They simply don't ask the venue management to take down the line array for their event.
Well sad "it about the music not about technology" :)
Seems like a lot of ignorance to facts about sound, frequencies, and then they're snobs on top of that. If it's only about the vibe and playing good music, why the shade to CDs, mp3s, graphic EQs etc?
@dhb, you don't sh/t!
Plz I beg don't sniff white lines or do yr paper foil jobs on a sound man box
There's so many sound-system cultures that exist with native characteristics and origins. Like in India, Pakistan, parts of Africa and even Latin America... Yet we must regurgitate on the same dull, exoticism of Jamaica, mostly perpetuated by white folks in England. So small and boring this institutional mindset ...
The same dull, exoticism of Jamaica? I think you are being very disrespectful. If sound system cultures exist in these other parts of the world, why do we not see this amongst their communities in other parts of the world for example Indian, Pakistani or African people in the UK?
Well i grow in jamaica in 1975. 1976 listening to the great papa roots hi fi. Channel one hi fi from maxfield ave.all so ray symbolic hi fi. Palie dies around 79 the sound stop play the rest of the okim focous on the channel one studio & hit bound studio..now a see some sound system in the uk with the channel one name.is only one channel one and that came from maxfield ave kingston jamaica.with ranking Trevor & u brown jah mikey.
