In this episode of the TOWNSOUNDS Oral History Podcast host Sam Hodgson will be finding out about the well documented and highly influential soundsystem and reggae music scene in Huddersfield. Sam will explore this topic in a unique, new way.
Firstly, this will be through the voices of local people involved in soundsystem. From the people that know it first hand, he’ll find out about Armagideon Soundsystem, Axis Valv-a-tron, Zion Inna Vision, Likkle Warrior HiFi, Jah Amharic and Black Hudu. Sam will also speak to an MC on the scene.
The way that Sam will find out about reggae soundsystem is through the process of putting it on - building the systems and amps, organising and promoting the night, and through the understanding of soundsystem nights themselves.
As part of this exploration, Jeff Lewis will tell us all about Hans Alfred Mathias from Matamp. Learn about the technology, the history, and some funny anecdotes.
