Explosion Sound System, Northern Ireland’s heavyweight Dub Kings, are a Belfast-based collective who have been promoting reggae and dub alongside sound system culture for nearly 20 years.

The crew represent a mix of both classic and upfront modern reggae, roots and dub in a conscious style.

'This mix was recorded in our studio in Belfast on a cold afternoon.
A few of the crew got together and selected some of our favourite songs that we have been listening to lately. We set up the sirens and FX, locked the door, lit the fire and ran the tape...'

Positive sounds, heavyweight bass pressure and upfull vibrations guaranteed.

The Huge Reggae Show 8

It's a Reggae podmix.......I'm playing records and talking about them..............When I was young I used to play the same mixtapes over and over and never get tired of them...........I'm trying to make these shows so that you can do that with them..........I hope that the music has enough depth and quality that it improves with repeated listening........Bless up 'stay till the end" people.

The Huge Reggae Show 14

It's quite specialist.......It's all authentic Reggae from the very centre of the culture........I put tunes on these podmixs that I don't really expect people to feel the first time they hear them...........I'm making the podmixs for people who like to listen multiple times and then begin to like different tunes to the ones they liked on the first listen.

MIMM Radio - History Of Origin One Set - Reggae to Jungle

Earl Gateshead began DJing in 1979 when he played Reggae records between punk bands in Brixton......... Today Earl tours the world, always playing original, first press, vinyl, which he maintains has the best sound. He spreads the original positive message of love, from Jamaica’s golden era of Reggae music. Earl has a unique voice on the microphone, his 'Yeah Yeah" Catchphrase has spread right through Reggae music.

Earl's career began in the late 70s, when he built his own Sound System, one of the first built by a European, and installed it at the world famous Dive Bar, in Soho, London, where he established a respected reputation throughout the U.K. Earl had a 23 year residency at The Dive Bar, sadly brought to an end in 2002 when the venue was closed, after the lease ran out. Throughout the later part of his Dive Bar years Earl became the Saturday night resident at clubs such as the internationally acclaimed Blue Note and later Fabric, where he became their resident Roots Reggae specialist.

In 2000 Earl began to organise and perform at a series of events called “Reggae Nights” at seminal London club "Plastic People." This legendary series of concerts received world wide attention, with performances from international legends such as; Alton Ellis, Dennis Alcapone, Sugar Minott, Cutty Ranks, Adrian Sherwood and Saxon Sound System. This run of great success gave Earl a huge boost in profile, leading him to be one of the most sought after DJs in the world. In high demand from international Reggae artists. He went on to tour Europe and Australasia with Big Youth, Dr Alimantado and Cutty Ranks amongst others.

Earl was the first Reggae DJ to play at Fabric, The Ministry Of Sound and Space in Ibiza. Probably the world's three greatest nightclubs.

World renowned graffiti artist Banksy asked Earl to D.J at the first three exhibitions of his work. Earl is still the only D.J that Banksy has ever worked with.

With such a distinguished career and fantastic attitude, Earl has become a figurehead in UK Reggae. He was invited to lecture at the prestigious Red Bull Music Academy in Sao Paulo. Earl gave a comprehensive lecture on Reggae DJing and recorded a radio show for Red Bull....... In April this year Red Bull invited Earl to play with Red Bull Culture Clash winners Rebel Sound on the London leg of their U.K tour.
