Tracklist & Info

Asymetrics Present: Shaolin Sound - Killer 80s

THE ROOTS MIXTAPE

Free Download available on Bandcamp: https://interruptmusic.bandcamp.com/track/young-developing-mixtape-100-y-d-selection

Y&D was a sublabel of Jah Tubby's studio during the late 80s and early 90s, home to singers such as Dixie Peach, Gadman, Little Clarkie, Sugar Dee, Frighty, Errol Bellott, Colonel Mite and Crucial Robbie (now of AFTV fame).

While Jah Tubby's sound was known for more spiritual steppas and rootsy music, the Y&D label was formed as an outlet for young and developing UK dancehall artists with a fresh 'nowadays' style.

Backed by the Offbeat Posse at Jah Tubby's studio in Hackney, the sound of these records is definitively UK digital dancehall. The riddims are simple, raw and heavy, accompanied by some of the finest up-and-coming singers of the UK dancehall scene in its prime.

King Earthquake x Wandem Sound System Live @ Nantes Dub Club 28, France  3.16.2018

I fell in love with Jamaican styles of music in my teenage days. At the age of 16 I started collecting & playing records. I started to set up King David Soundsystem in 1995. It has always been a work in progress system. I started with 500 watts and played roughly 10k in 2010. Traveling to many places I met a lot of people and I really give thanks for a load of amazing experiences. Jah know! 
Living in Berlin since 2000 I´ve been an integral part of the local Reggae/Soundsystem scene until around 2012. Since 2022 I´m back with the new King David Soundsystem 2.0, ready to kick off my label "Ital Breakfast Records" and also proudly presenting the „Ital Breakfast Radioshow“ on https://hearticalfm.com and https://www.omyradio.net the 2nd Saturday every month.
