Backbeat Soundsystem

Backbeat Soundsystem

Since forming in 2008, Backbeat Soundsystem has appeared at many UK festivals, including Glastonbury, Boomtown Fair, Beautiful Days, Secret Garden Party, Greenman, Boardmasters, and many others, as well as touring both Europe and the United States. They’ve supported Madness, Cypress Hill, Arrested Development, Tinie Tempah, The Streets, and Dub Pistols.

While many of their peers are slavish in their attempt to recreate an authentic Jamaican-leaning sound, the band are not afraid to go in totally different directions, pulling in influences from all across the music spectrum, to create their vision of modern reggae.

Bringing an electronic flavour to the mix, with dub effects, sirens and live analog synthesiser, Backbeat Soundsystem are able to remind the world that dub reggae is at the forefront of dance music culture.
