A wonderful thing when 2 people come together from different corners of the world and unite through music, sharing their experiences and building blocks to support shared ideas. This is exactly what happened with Dreadsquad and Blackout JA when, at Uprising Festival, Slovakia, the pair met, bonded and decided to spend a week writing and recording to produce what is now the main body of 'World Destruction’.

The result, as Dreadsquad feels, ‘is at the same time very diverse and cohesive’ and this is down to a number of things; namely the production techniques used, the style of Blackouts vocals and the natural way that all of the songs came together to reflect the current atmosphere of the world.

Subject matters of the songs move through corruption, poverty, mind control, war on drugs, police brutality and the destruction of the world we are living in but they also highlight positivity and solutions spreading love and giving people hope.

The 2 singles being lifted from the album, ‘Last Tune’ and ‘A Girl Like You’, will be put to good use on both the radio and dance floor, then the album as a whole takes in many different genres; Roots Reggae, Digital / Raggamuffin, UK Steppas, Rub a Dub with influences of World Music and EDM.

Dreadsquad and Blackout JA will be performing their album ‘World Destruction’ across Europe throughout 2016

Dreadsquad - Poland's staple Reggae Dancehall export


The Dreadsquad project has put Poland on the map for creating dancefloor friendly riddim and bassline madness. From the Superfly Studio in Lodz comes tune after tune combining Jamaican sounds of of Reggae, Dub, Dancehall, Ska and Rocksteady with the modern sounds of Breakbeat, Jungle, Dubstep and Garage.


Dreadsquad was launched during 2001 and what followed was a flurry of mashups, remixes and Polish Sound Clash victories which gave confidence to turn a passion into a way of life for the man at the controls, Marek Bogdanski. Hundreds of gigs in Poland turned into European tours and now Dreadsquad has toured as far as the USA, Canada, Brazil & India.


Always in demand, Dreadsquad has worked with plenty of top Jamaican and European artists including Ward 21, Tenor Fly, Top Cat, General Levy, U Brown, Milion Stylez, Lady Chann, Tipa Irie, Jah Mason, Perfect Giddimani, Dr Ring Ding…the list goes on.


So far Dreadsquad has released 4 mixtapes, 4 full-length producer albums and a host of vinyl and digital singles which made it into the top of the best DJ shops in Europe and into the playlists of the premier DJs of the world.

The Dreadsquad sound is a worldwide sound taking influence and inspiration from all walks of life. It is glued together by Jamaican Soundsystem culture and modern Bass music culture and is a force to be reckoned with.

Nattyken nasce a Losone, Svizzera il 13.05.1995. Svizzero, d'origine nigeriana, riscopre il mondo della musica, dalle basi della musica nera, alla musica  d'origine africana.
Comincia a concepire le sue prime composizioni usando soltanto un portatile e un tablet. Poi, nell'estate del 2013 durante un soggiorno in Olanda, sente, per la prima volta, la trasmissione radio DJ della Red light Radio, ne rimane molto colpito, ed ancora adesso innamorato, perché proprio nel sentire vari Dj mettere i generi più disparati, pensò "Anch'io voglio riuscire a riempire il mondo della musica con i miei suoni, ci voglio almeno provare".  La RLR diventa la sua più grande fonte d'ispirazione e la sua più grande amica. Grazie ad essa conosce anche la musica dutch elettronica  e i sintetizzatori!

Portando con sé solo le sue passioni e le sue emozioni, comincia ad sentirsi sempre più attratto dal mondo dei dj e,partendo da niente, inizia a strutturare un studio di registrazione in camera sua, riempiendola con dispositivi e strumenti musicali.
Da dicembre 2016 collabora con l'associazione Laboratorio Luna (a Socraggio, VB, Italia) 

(Laboratorio Luna, lo spazio di promozione sociale e culturale, totalmente aperto, libero e senza scopo di lucro. Obiettivo è quello di promuovere la riqualificazione territoriale di Socraggio, un piccolo villaggio sulle pendici della Valle Cannobina. Non sapete dov'è? Molto probabile. Infatti gli anni lo hanno consegnato all'oblio, ma ora Socraggio sta per diventare un paese di giovani, appassionati in special modo di musica elettronica, amanti della cultura e della natura. Pronto a rinascere come roccaforte per artisti, come enclave del libero pensiero, come punto di incontro tra modernità e tradizione, tra scienza e cultura popolare).
