![]() It was good but then once I started knowing more people I wanted to put on my own night, because before then I was just getting paid to play. There was reggae music, I used to DJ from ’96 upwards. When you started, was there already a sound system scene here ? To get a good sound, to get the sound that we really wanted, that’s why we decided to start bass warrior sound system. Except nowadays it’s quite difficult to find a place to play a big sound system.īut we started may 2006, and the reason for that was just to make sure we had our own system, instead of having to hire crappy PA system. So after that, we just been doing gigs, it’s been quite good so far. We started off with 6 bass bins, and some top boxes. So I decided to build some speakers, and set up a system. ![]() But we started because we used to have to hire equipment, and most of the time the equipment was rubbish, but you still had to pay.

Kenny from the mighty Bass Warrior Sound System very kindly sat down for a lengthy chat with us, and shared his thoughts on the early reggae scene in Scotland, the growing dubplate business, and the difficulties in connecting Scotland with sound system culture. “…And as a matter of fact, I played dubplates before and people were like “how did you get your name into that song?”, because they don’t even have a clue what it is. And me, coming from the Caribbean, I wanted to hear reggae dancehall style.”
