Saxon Sound

SAXON SOUND

Founded in 1976 in Lewisham, this year celebrating their 50th anniversary, Saxon Studio International is a legendary British reggae and dancehall sound system crew. They will be bringing the vibes all night with very special guests joining the party.

The Jamaican music genius DNA that spawned some of the most influential musicians of all time must be credited when considering the meteoric rise of one of the world’s greatest Sound Systems. Coming to prominence in the early 80s with the “fast chat” style, Saxon won the UK Cup Clash in 1992 and in 1994 were the first UK Sound System to win the World Clash. Saxon launched many careers including Maxi Priest, Papa Levi, Tippa Irie, and Smiley Culture and massively influenced a new generation of artists such as Massive Attack and Soul II Soul. Saxon continues to play internationally, including an annual outing at London’s Notting Hill Carnival.
