enjoying a meditative, lovers fuelled afternoon… which got me (maka) thinking about sound-system masters @passaproductions, as Nottinghill Carnival draws closer to its 56th year of celebrating Caribbean heritage in London.  I can’t really talk about this scene authoritatively as its not a scene I'm deeply in, still I greatly appreciate how the culture is an example of how to take up space and make it ‘binding’. British sound systems are eclectic because of the carnival and its Afro Caribbean heritage. For those people in the back who are yet to discover their connection to us and sound-systems: The Mighty Ruler was named after the song of the same name by Jamaican singer Roy Panton and was released on the Blue Beat label in 1962 in the UK. It was built and operated by Count Rob of Wood Green who sadly passed away in the pandemic. It was then found and refurbished by Passa Productions, a group of friends who make up the company and come from various legendary London Sound Systems including the Soca Saga Boyz, Gemi ‘In Ting’ Magic and have a long history of being involved with Notting Hill Carnival up to the present day.  The Sound System is the only known and operational system from the foundation era where early sound operators would construct their own boxes out of repurposed furniture etc to play in Blues Parties.  Its rebirth has seen it being the subject of exhibitions, events and fashion shoots with the new sound crew bringing it into the modern era, one dubplate at a time.  Passa family.  References below: A small but mighty section of Passas’ sound-system. Cockney Translation by Smiley Culture (rip). Norman Jay’s Good Times sound system at Notting Hill Carnival 1984. Passa at Jumbi 2nd Birthday by Fabrice.  Stay steady, stay safe.

Better late than never—many fleeting, beautiful, conflicting moments to reflect on from this year so far. It’s definitely been all about asking for forgiveness, not permission, and it feels good to be harnessing control of what was, for a long time, unregulated drifting without a fixed destination. Thanks to everyone who made the @tate late evening so special for us, especially @rudimd—programming in one of the biggest institutions in the world… it’s notable to read that south london felt represented in this space on that night. A space is just a space until you fill it with something meaningful and purposeful. Love to @thisisgala team for welcoming us to the cornerstone stage, @zineabdi for looking after everyone (always). One deck keeping the dancefloor fullll and joyous forever. It wouldn’t be the same without the people bts—make sure you give them their flowers. I want to see more collaboration and assertion in music ‘til the end.
