Safari Sound was founded in south Sweden in 2003 by a couple of reggae fans and record collectors who loved reggae music since they first discovered it during their early school days. Two of the three founding members left the sound leaving Shirkhan to carry on the Safari name. Shortly after the founding members left, Zoro joined the sound as Safari’s first MC. Zoro and Shirkhan played the sound together until Zoro decided to focus on his career as a recoding artist.

In late 2006 Sammy K joined the sound as an MC. Together he and Shirkhan began taking the sound to the next level. Safari quickly established their name as one of the major contributors to the music scene in Southern Sweden. Safari established their presence through their show on Swedish National Radio, regular mixtape releases and several weekly and monthly events.

In 2009 Safari Sound started doing guest mixes for Din Gata (a local radio station belonging to Swedish National Radio). These mixes were so popular the sound was offered a monthly radio slot on P3, the biggest radio station in Sweden, which is apart of Swedish National Radio. The popularity of the monthly program grew to the point that in 2011 Safari was offered a weekly spot on Musikguiden i P3 every Friday evening (in 2017 the day changed to Wednesdays in order to attract more traffic).

This placement made Safari’s show the biggest Reggae and Dancehall show in Scandinavia.

In 2011 Safari relocated from its birthplace Malmö to Stockholm. Some of the events that made the sound famous were also re-launched in Stockholm.

In 2014 Safari Sound started participating in soundclashes, two in Stockholm and one in Denmark.

In 2015 DJ Autograph, longtime colleague and friend, joined the sound. DJ Autograph was born and raised in Kingston Jamaica and moved to New York in the 90s. He worked behind the scenes until mid 2016 when his announcement as part of Safari was made official along with his move to Sweden.

2017 was the year Safari Sound dedicated themselves to releasing original music via their own label. This resulted in the formation of Safari Records in early 2018, together with Swedish producer Binnie Smalls. The first single (Pon Di DJ with Red Fox) was released early 2018 and was followed up by an official remix of Chronixx’s mega scorcher Likes. Look out for more releases from Safari Records in 2018.

Originality, quality and their ability to play for any type of crowd has gained Safari supporters both within Sweden and internationally. Safari has toured Europe, Japan, Gambia, The Middle East, USA and Jamaica, performing at festivals and clubs in the aforementioned places.

Safari Sound is known for playing the latest Reggae & Dancehall mixed with exclusive dubplates and remixes. These days you should expect the unexpected when you catch the sound jugglin’: from old school Rub A Dub Reggae to todays Hip-Hop and R&B to 90s Dancehall scorchers and todays dancehall anthems. One thing is certain, when you step into a Safari Sound party you’re guaranteed to be at every future Safari event.

Jamaican Reggae & Dancehall artiste Zagga, born Austill Henry, got his break when Ruption of RD Studios heard an unofficially released song on Chimney Records' Island Vibes Riddim via Facebook. He took it to producer Jordan McClure of Chimney Records. McClure was ecstatic and before long Zagga was discussing working with Chimney Records.

Since then Zagga has released hit singles such as 'My Destination' on the Rising Sun Riddim and 'Hold You Down'. He also teamed up with Tarrus Riley for 'Free Up' on the Happy Hour Riddim. Zagga is working to repeat the success of one of his earlier recordings 'Change' which gained the number one spot on a few charts in Europe. He has worked with producers such as Penthouse Records, Grafton Studios, Dj Frass Records, Jugglerz and Adde Instrumentals to name a few, and has given impressive performances on top caliber events such as Rebel Salute, GT Taylor Extravaganza, Cream of the Crop and more.

In 2015 Zagga enjoyed his first European tour. After almost a month, he returned to Jamaica to begin the Pepsi Refresh Tour and then to Reggae Sumfest on International Night 2 where he delivered a memorable performance.

2016 saw Zagga gracing US stages for the first time to rave reviews.

2017 he made his first stop in Canada and is currently in the studio working on a special project.

“Never give up, work hard and be patient, because what you put in is what you will get out” -Zagga

G-SPOT SOUND was founded in 2001 during a journey to Kingston/Jamaica by Phile and Oliver, both from the Lower Austria Province of Austria. Out of the passion for jamaican soundsystemculture they started to organize their own dances and to represent their sound all over the country. Due to regular trips to Jamaica - and contacts established in Kingston- G-SPOT became soon one of the leading sounds of Austria when it comes to dubplatevoicing.
Soon Selecta O.G. (also named Oliver) joined the Sound and added his unique mixing skills to G-SPOT's performances. Later Oliver decided to relocate totally to Jamaica and left the Sound, but still was supportive with his contacts in Kingston. In 2004 Koolbreak, heading all the way from Austria's far east, joined the crew. At least since then G-SPOT became known as the country's top party sound, especially popular for their fluent juggling. Since 2006 G-SPOT hosts their own regular in Vienna and introduced a new tune focused style to the viennese massive.
After playing many dances in Austria, Germany and Poland the crew decided to enter the battlefield and in 2007 General Palma (Ita/Aut) was killed during three rounds straight in Austria's first dubplate-only clash. 
In 2008-2010 Tobias and Rizzla, both active soundmen for years, reinforced the crew further. Beside playing the sound at dances and promoting the regular party Bruk Off Yuh Back, Koolbreak hosts the only reggae radio show on Austrian commercial radio. In 2022 the crew made a fulminant comeback on the clash stage by winning Champions Clash in Erlangen, Germany.
