Black Rhino Radio welcomes for its 20th residency in club Control, the legendary Channel One w/ Macky Banton on the microphone.
In 1979, Mikey Dread and his brother Jah T began to play at blues parties and local dances, having spent many years under the watchful eye of their father, owner-operator of the famous Admiral Bailey Sound. They chose the name Channel One in homage to the legendary Jamaican record label of the same name, whose tunes featured heavily in those early selections. Inspired by Bob Marley's belief in uniting people through reggae music, Mikey was keen to introduce new people to dub reggae music and started touring around universities, where he secured a solid fan base.
Channel One Sound System's hand-built, custom speaker stacks provide a rich, heavyweight bass sound that complements their tight selection of old and new dub reggae classics, all played from a single vinyl deck and accented with echoes and sirens.
