Chris Dubbs and Fiine China (Reggaetown Radio) for passing through and blessing the show with their presence. Brimstone Gold arrived early but had issues with Serato failing to load up so they decided to leave and get their own Serato Box, which eventually solved the issue. Even though they were Scarborough based, it would be near 10 pm before they would take over, while early juggling was provided by yours truly.

Once Brimstone got started things went smooth from there. The Brimstone Gold crew consists of mic talker Nolan (brother of Ricky Turbo), DJ-selector Megga aka Roach, and side-man Mystro. This Scarborough crew, originally founded by Chris Dubbs in 1996, plays hard, and thrives off their Cobra’s, Buju’s and Bounty’s. They had no room it seemed for soft dubs in their presentation, and played with a confident style similar to their performance in their most recent clash.

It was a good look for Brimstone Gold, who proved that they really are back to represent in Canada’s new clash frontier. Big up Black Magic Sound as well, who passed through and blessed the studio with a well selected set of dubs to close off the show.

Big up Squidley from Klymaxx, who tried his best to interview me near the show’s end only to find I’m not really into the sentimental goodbye stuff, meaning this ‘closing’ of Sound System Fridays may be more of a ‘pause’ or a ‘break’ versus a final termination of a show that has a really purposeful concept. 

Enjoy the Podcast – and a special thanks to all those – Sound Systems and Artists, who’ve repped on Sound System Fridays over the past 18-months. Thanks also go out to the viewers, listeners, and fans who’ve tuned in loyally on Friday nights to watch their favourite talents in action repping on the show. We’ll see where things from here (I get bored easily), so who knows what Friday nights will have in store in the future. For now, ReggaeMania.com and ReggaeManiaRadio is safe, and more constructive changes will be coming to both platforms.
