Riddim Culture, Citizen Sound

A lover of music and sound system culture, Citizen Sound is a DJ & producer

“Reggae Is Her Name, the album’s Juno-worthy single. A sweet love letter to reggae, it features Blessed and is one of the disc’s standout tracks.” &#13;
Errol Nazareth - Toronto Sun&#13;
&#13;
“Citizen Sound is a passionate dub advocate, mixing and producing some wicked tunes. I was tipped off about the track “Seasons Change,” which is a smooth slightly digital upbeat summer-time reggae jam with Melodic &amp; Jahdan Blakkamoore.” &#13;
The Groove Thief&#13;
&#13;
"Citizen Sound" is out and claims its own position to the continuously spreading hybrid genre in which dub and soul, reggae and hip hop are combined in fair proportions for creating the modern urban soundtrack. This a very well balanced record between the production skills of Aram Scaram and each contribution whether that is the collaborating artists or the supporting sound patterns. Worth checking!&#13;
