Dubwise Meeting #8 - Yarra Sound Invite Channel One System & Sawaya

Family friendly Kids Outdoor Live music
Event Details

Channel One Sound System is back in Montreal!

After an unforgettable session together in 2024, Yarra Sound is proud to welcome back one the most legendary and respected Sound Systems in the world for another heavyweight night of Roots, Reggae & Dub.

With over 40 years of Sound System history, Mikey Dread & Macky Banton will bring the spirit of Notting Hill Carnival to Montreal, selecting conscious Roots Reggae, exclusive dubplates and heavyweight Steppas, powered by the Yarra Sound System.

Channel One is led by Mikey Dread, original selector, playing strictly vinyl from his iconic single turntable setup. Alongside him, Ras Sherby brings Rastafarian chanting and conscious lyrics over the music.

Born in London and active since the late 1970s, Channel One has become one of the most internationally recognized names in Sound System culture. Their mission is simple: “to break down barriers via reggae music.”

From their legendary sessions at Notting Hill Carnival to sound system dances and festivals across Europe and DJ sets around the world, Channel One has spent decades spreading Roots music, positive messages and upliftment to new generations.

 - On September 19th, they return to Montreal for a very special session with Yarra Sound.

SAWAYA (Montreal)

Also joining the session is Sawaya, deeply involved in Montreal’s reggae sound system scene and a former member of WorldWild Soundsystem. His selections range from deep Roots to Dub Steppa, always driven by Roots & Culture vibrations and a unifying spirit.

Also active as a graphic designer within the scene, Sawaya is the artist behind the poster for this event.

Expect heavyweight bass, strictly vinyl selections, exclusive dubplates, Roots, Dub & Steppers all night long…

This is more than a party.

This is Sound System culture!
