IRONSHIRT SOUND
OUTTA DI TYROLEAN MOUNTAINS AKA THE AUSTRIAN GLOCK
est. 2001

Jemani Jahka was born in 2010 in the deepest part of Ticino (Switzerland) in a small village named Morbio. The sound was founded by Nigel (MC), Lion K (selector) and Sista Jè (selector), who always had a passion for reggae music and sound system culture. Following the reggae activity in Switzerland and north Italy, the group started performing all-over Ticino and kept the reggae movement alive. In the mean time they learned more and more about soundclashes and began to voice some dubplates. 
By one year later the trio recruited two more members: Seerveeo (MC) and BigFoot (selector, sound engineer), who brought something new to the sound and helped to make them dub box stronger. 
In 2013 the crew took part in his first official soundclash in Bergamo (IT), an event for young sounds named “Mortal Kombat”. Despite the defeat, the experience made them grow and inspire for new challenges. 
In 2014 Jemani Jahka represented Ticino at the first edition of the “Fight Club Soundclash” in Lausanne (CH), against High Pressa sound.  The team won three rounds straight and took the trophy before the DubfiDub.
One year and a half later Jemani Jahka touches down in Geneva (CH) to win them second title at the “Death Around the Corner”. The crew defeated Reggaematik (FR), Bad Yard (CH) and Slapshot International (FR).   
Nowadays the group keeps operating all around the Country and in north Italy, always ready to make people enjoy themselves with their finest and varied selections, the show is guaranteed! 
The deep passion for reggae music and soundclash culture, and also the good chemistry among the group, make Jemani Jahka an interesting sound from several points of view.

Lumera Sound nasce a Calimera (Lecce) nel cuore della Grecia Salentina, isola linguistica ellenofona situata nella Puglia meridionale. “Lumera” in griko (antico idioma parlato in questa parte di Salento) significa “fuoco” e fu scelto dai fondatori del sound per evidenziare, attraverso la scelta di un nome in griko, il legame ed il rispetto per le proprie origini .

La storia della crew ha inizio quando due giovani , Borghi e Marco (DjFudo, ex selecta), armati di tanto amore per il reggae, pochi vinili, un mixer e una piccola amplificazione, intrattengono i propri amici montando il loro piccolo impianto in giro per le campagne e le masserie del paese. La loro “prima volta”, ovviamente pirata, a Calimera -Villa Comunale- nell' aprile del 1999, fu l' occasione per coinvolgere ed avvicinare a queste sonorità, tanti giovani calimeresi divenuti poi col tempo, la loro fedele massive.
Nel dicembre del 1999 il debutto ufficiale nella location della masseria occupata “la Setta”; location che rimarrà sempre nel cuore della “Calimera massive”, visto che è proprio qui che i giovani Lumera“si fanno le ossa” organizzando numerosi eventi ed ospitando sound salentini e non, facendola diventare una delle yard più calde della penisola salentina. Grazie anche all’entusiasmo ed al sostegno della “Calimera family”, Lumera sound ha potuto allargare i propri gli orizzonti geografici ed artistici. Il potenziale artistico della crew aumenta in maniera esponenziale con l'arrivo di Padreterno, allora solo sedicenne ed ora pilastro inamovibile del sound.
Nel 2002, l'evento che segna duramente il percorso del sound system : per uno strano scherzo del destino, proprio il fuoco che dà il nome al sound system polverizza anni di lavoro e sacrificio, distruggendo completamente i vinili e la strumentazione. Ma Lumera Sound sa che il fuoco può simboleggiare la distruzione, ma anche il calore della passione: e come l'araba fenice, Lumera sound risorge dalle proprie ceneri.
Dopo lo choc DjFudo non se la sente di riprendere questa avventura. Borghi si trasferisce a Bologna e Padreterno resta solo in Salento; ma la distanza non riesce a scalfire la passione dei due amici che, con audacia e caparbietà, riorganizzano tutto il materiale, dando vita ad una nuova collezione di vinili che presto allevia la ferita provocata dal rogo riassemblando la propria strumentazione. Sono anni che vedono una brusca frenata riguardo al numero di esibizioni dei Lumera, ma che in nessun modo intaccano la voglia dei due di “regalare musica e vibrazioni” Padreterno non perde occasione di montare una consolle ed un paio di casse per allietare le serate salentine (aperitivi musicali, piccole feste tra amanti della reggae music....). Borghi, dal canto suo, inizia ad ambientarsi nella nuova città e riesce ad introdurre i Lumera Sound nel panorama della scena reggae bolognese. Carichi di vinili, entusiasmo ed una nuova consolle Borghi e Padreterno ricominciano a far ballare la massive anche aldilà dei confini salentini: I Lumera si esibiscono in alcuni dei locali storici della città emiliana, come il Livello 57, T.p.o, Lazzaretto, Link, Sottotetto, Ponte di Via Libia...

A maggio 2006, in occasione della dancehall al Lazzaretto (BO), si unisce alla crew un nuovo selecta, Adriano, dando vita alla formazione attuale: Borghi (Mc), Padreterno (Selecta) e Adriano (Selecta). Il nuovo arriva porta nuovo vigore e nuove energie al gruppo che in questo periodo saprà essere al passo con i cambiamenti che hanno pian piano modificato il classico modo di “fare reggae”. In questi anni particolari per la reggae music, i Lumera Sound hanno saputo aggiornarsi senza mai dimenticare da quali vibrazioni derivi la loro passione. E senza mai dimenticare che il legame che li unisce precede il loro “essere sound system”.Saranno il talento, l'amicizia ed una dose massiccia di buona volontà, gli ingredienti che porteranno il sound system verso una progressiva e definitiva ribalta.
Lumera inizia a raccogliere i frutti del proprio lavoro ed infiamma le yards su e giù per l’Italia tra Lecce, Bologna, Modena, Ferrara, Firenze, Perugia, Reggio Emilia, Catanzaro ecc…, collaborando ed esibendosi con artisti del calibro di Ziggy Marley, Dawn Penn, Anthony Jonhson, General Levy, Ward 21, Brother Culture, Gioman, Killacat, Kgman ecc..., oltre che con sounds di caratura internazionale come Kalibandulu, Lp International, Civalezee, City Lock, Heavy Hammer , Mad Kid, Sentinel, Pushman, Yaga Yaga, Villa Ada, ecc…

Col passare degli anni, il bagaglio artistico e culturale del gruppo continua ad arricchirsi,ma l'evoluzione del reggae non consente di fermarsi mai. Lumera Sound implementa la propria strumentazione acquistando il sistema di emulazione Serato Scratch Live, evoluzione digitale della consolle tradizionale. La gavetta fatta con i vinili permette al sound di evolversi senza perdere le qualità ereditate dai precedenti sistemi di selezione.
La scelta di investire in una nuova strumentazione digitale consente ai Lumera, non solo di rimanere al passo con la digitalizzazione del reggae (e più in generale, di tutta la musica), ma anche di aprire un nuovo capitolo del proprio percorso artistico. Lumera inizia ad investire ricavi ed energie nel taglio di dubplates e di remix, ben consapevoli che anche gli specials, insieme ad una buona collezione di vinili e ad una strumentazione rispettabile, compongono il bagaglio tecnico e musicale di un sound system.

Nel suo show, che può durare anche diverse ore, Lumera sound “incendia” le yards scegliendo le chunes da una dub-box di tutto rispetto o dall'enorme repertorio, colmo di reggae a 360 gradi, dal foundation style al new roots, dal raggamuffin al bashment sino alle ultime sonorità provenienti dalla Giamaica e dai Caraibi.



English version :

Lumera Sound was founded in Calimera (Lecce), a small town at the core of the Grecìa Salentina, an hellenic language island located in Salento. “Lumera”, in griko (the ancient idiom spoken in this zone of southern Apulia) means “fire”, and it was picked by founders to demonstrate, through this choice, their big respect for their ethnic roots.


Lumera sound's story begins in the second half of 90s, when Borghi e Marco (Dj Fudo, former selecta) only equipped with a small mixer and a meager amplification, some vinyls and a big love for reggae music, entertain their crew by building up their little sound system for the first pirate dancehall in the breathtaking scenario of the Salento countryside.
Their debut in a public stage was (obviously) in Calimera, on April 1998. That night, on the public gardens, has symbolized the happening that brought the Calimera youths closer to the dancehall vibes. Later, those youths would become the Lumera Sound's massive.

On December 1999, Lumera Sound got their “prima volta”in the mythical squat masseria (a typical ancient fortified farm) “La Setta”. Location will always remain in the heart of the whole Calimera massive, because it was here that the young Lumeras “learn the ropes” by organizing lots of events, and hosting many sound sytems from all over Italy, making “La Setta” one of the hottest and
best-known yards along Salento Peninsula. Also thanks to their push and their support, Lumera Sound could broaden its horizons both geographical, both artistic. Creative resources of the crew sharply increase with the join of Padreterno, then only sixteen, and now irreplaceable pillar of the group.

In 2002, the event that hardly marks the path of sound system: just for a bizarre twist of fate, fire that gives name to the sound system pulverizes years of work and sacrifice, burning their complete 7” and 12”collection, and destroying their equipment. Nevertheless Lumera Sound knows that fire could symbolize destruction, but also the heat of passion, and like a phoenix, sound system rises again from its own ashes .
After the shock DjFudo not brings himself to continue this adventure.

Borghi moved to Bologna and Padreterno alone remains in Salento, but distances cannot scratch passion of the two, that, with their bravery and resolution, reorganize their equipment, creating a new collection of vinyls that soon relieves the wound caused from the burning, and reassembling his instrumentation. Those were years in which the Lumera's performances undergo a screeching halt, but that in no way affect desire of the two in "spreading music and vibrations". Padreterno never misses oppurtunity to set a consolle and a pair of speakers to enliven the Salento nights (musical aperitifs, small parties among lovers of reggae music ....). Borghi, on the other hand, is settling in the new city and manages to introduce Lumera Sound into the Bologna 's reggae scene. Full of vinyls, enthusiasm and a new console, Borghi and Padreterno start to perform well beyond the Salento borders, especially in Bologna: Lumera Sound plays in some of the “coolest” place on the underground scene, such as Livello 57, T.p.o, Lazzaretto, Link, Sottotetto, Ponte di Via Libia....




In May 2006, at Lazzaretto (BO), joins the crew a new selecta, Adriano, creating the current lineup: Borghi (Mc), Almighty (Selecta) and Adriano (Selecta).
The new entry brings new vigor to the group that during this period will be in step with the changes that have gradually modified the traditional way of "playing reggae" In recent last years, so bizarre in reggae music, Lumera Sound has been able to upgrade themselves, never forgetting from what kinds of vibes their passion comes. And never forgetting that their bond predate their "being sound system". Friendship, talent and a huge dose of efforts will be the ingredients which will bring the sound system to a progressive and definitive limelight.

Lumera begins to reap the rewards of their own jobs and arouses yards all around Italy: sound system performs in their own Lecce, Bologna, Modena, Ferrara, Firenze, Perugia, Reggio Emilia, Catanzaro ….by collaborating and performing alongside big artists such as Ziggy Marley, Dawn Penn, Anthony Jonhson, General Levy, Ward 21, Brother Culture, Gioman, Killacat, Kgman …. Lumera Sound shared a large number of stages with some international sound systems such as Kalibandulu, Lp International, Civalezee, City Lock, Heavy Hammer , Mad Kid, Sentinel, Pushman, Yaga Yaga, Villa Ada,...

Over the years, the group's artistic and cultural awareness continues to enrich, but the ongoing evolution of reggae does not allow stopping. Lumera Sound implements its equipment by purchasing Serato Scratch Live emulator system, a digital evolution of the traditional consolle. Experience gained on vinyl allows the sound to evolve without losing the mixing qualities inherited from the previous selection systems.
Decision to invest in a new digital instrumentation allows Lumera, not only to keep pace with the digitization of reggae (and, more generally, of all the music), but also to open a new chapter of its musical journey. Lumera begins to invest incomes and energies in cutting dubplates and remixes, well aware that even the specials, along with a good collection of vinyl and a respectable instrumentation, compose the technical and musical baggage of a sound system.

During its show, which can last several hours, Lumera Sound " sets fire " to the yards by drawing from a high- level dub-box, or from their “bottomless pit” storage , full of 360° reggae, from the foundation to the new roots style, from raggamuffin to bashment , up to the latest sounds coming from Jamaica and from Caribbeans.
