90 DEGREE SOUND

Bio:

90 Degree Sound is a Reggae Dancehall Sound System, with the mission to promote Reggae Music and Reggae Culture to the fullest, which plays inna Sound System style all kinds of genres of Jamaican music, from foundation Reggae to rub a dub, modern roots, classic dancehall up to the time bashment as well as a nice selection custom made dubplate specials.

It all started, after years into Reggae and dancehall music, when Prof finally decided to set up a Sound System back in the summer 2003 in the city of Ragusa, Sicily, Italy. That same year, Jimmy, Don Vice’ & Peppe, joined the crew, and 90 Degree started to organize blazing Reggae dancehalls and play regularly in his own town of Ragusa and all over Sicily, alongside local artists, sound systems and many guests from all over Italy. The name was coined by the crew to remind them of the hot “90 Degree” Sicilian temperatures as the hot fire temperatures that the Sound creates inna di dancehall yards.

90 Degree is not only a sound system but also a label and a riddim band, made up of Prof (Bass), Jimmy (Guitar), Maestrino & Danilo Donzella (Keybords), Peppe Burrafato (Drum) & Jah Youth (Percussion). 90 Degree Records, the Reggae & dancehall label, compose and produce riddims with great names and young upcoming artists in the Reggae music. Furthermore, 90 Degree Sound releases various Reggae Dancehall Mixtapes every year, featuring roots music and dancehall music.

In the summer 2006 the crew organized “Pon the River – Reggae Festival” on the shores of - Diga di St. Rosalia - a natural water reserve in the area of Ragusa. The first edition of the festival hosted Italian artists and sound systems such as Mad Kid, Moddy, Fido Guido, Villa Ada, and General Levy (UK) as the International guest.

Summer 2007 brings the second edition of “Pon the River – Reggae Festival” hosting Trinakrew, Lumarra, Killacat, Gioman backed 90 Degree Riddim Band, and International artists such as Ward 21 (JAM), Admiral Baley (JAM), and in the autumn the crew sets up a live show with Capleton backed by David House Band (Jam) & Trinakrew backed by 90 Degree Riddim Band. During these years 90 Degree Sound has been invited to play in several yards all over Italy, in cities like Florence, Naples, etc, etc.

Manjah Fyah joined the Sound in December 2007 bringing an international touch and becoming an important addition to the crew. In 2008 Natty Tino and his powerful sound system joined the crew making the sound stronger, louder and creating a solid base in their own town of Ragusa; in the meantime 90 Degree went international when part of the crew moved to Amsterdam, The Netherlands, keeping it Irie & with the same mission. Little by little the sound started to take part of the local Dutch Reggae scene and since then they have been invited to play in different clubs and venues and have collaborated with many local artists and sound systems. At the same time 90 Degree Sound has continued to set up dancehalls in his own town of Ragusa, keeping the Reggae scene alive.
