Daddy Ad: Trojan Sound System (UK)
Reformed in 2004, London based Trojan Sound System are an institution in Sound System culture, representing the most seminal reggae and ska record label in history.
Daddy Ad hails from the Roots and Reality Sound System, which he originally founded with Earl Gateshead before refounding Trojan Sound System together with Trojan Records. He has worked with legends including; Eek-A-Mouse, Tappa Zukie, Dennis Alcapone and Horace Andy amongst many others and has always pushed for new sounds and acts to break through. Ad believes many contemporary forms of music are direct descendants of reggae and its varied sub-genres and his mission has been to cross reggae music and culture back into contemporary clubs and festivals. which they successfully achieved. His experience as a drummer and audiophile has led Ad in a direction to be responsible for the crew’s FXs, mixing and trademark Hi-fi sound. Legendary recording artists including; Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry, Dr Alimantado, Tippa Irie, Big Youth, Ranking Joe, Dawn Penn, Dillinger & Dennis Alcapone have all worked with the Trojan Sound team.
Just a wee reminder; Sunshine Sound System are the undisputed champions when it comes to DJ/MC action in NZ. Here's a summary in their own words.
A Sunshine set typically includes lots of fresh bootlegs, a bit of reggae & dub, plenty of hiphop, but no trash understand?!, dancehall, original skool soul and funk including a few crate-digger breaks, plus if the mood takes us, a badbwoy fusion of old skool ragga junglism, breaks and D&B. KPz & Downtown Brown represent the sound of Aotearoan sound system culture. With roots implanted in reggae, soul, hiphop and real conversation, they rule over any track downtown throws down, and a great deal of what u hear is completely freestyle, although it’s usually delivered with such freedom, musicality and instinctive understanding that nobody ever notices!
