First guest announcement.....
Hailing from Southend-on-Sea is tha mighty
MessenJah Music Sound System......
"MessenJah Music Sound System started its journey way back in 1993,
when the crew built their first set of speaker boxes by hand,
just to bring reggae and dub vibes to local house parties.
Those early sessions shaped the sound’s identity — grassroots,
community‑minded, and driven by a love for message music.
MessenJah Music Records was founded in 1999,
giving the team a home for their own productions and collaborations.
After years of crafting their sound, the label released its first
official 12" record in 2005, marking a proud milestone in the movement.
Today, MessenJah Music continues to champion heavyweight roots and dub,
blending foundation selections with original works and
spiritual upliftment.
The mission remains the same as day one: build the sound, spread the message,
and share the love."
