Homegrown Soundsystem started in 2002 as a reggae-dub dj set formed by Selim "Da-Frogg" & Baris "J-Bro" Uzel in the massive "concrete jungle": Istanbul.
HGSS played at venues like Riddim, Nayah, M.S.Ü. Fest'03, H2003 and Karga. HG Had started a radio show on Radio Cosmos. After 5 shows the radio was closed but after few months the program re-started at Açk Radyo 94.9 and it's on air since. The Show fetures Reggae and Dub vibrations from all around the world and also Dj sets by foreing Djs and also special monthly program for Turkish dub acts such as 12m3, Fiti Sound and Version Forward. In 2003 after J-bro moved to Moskow Da-Frogg kept playin sets and also started producing Dub & Digi-Dub music with Öykü "Dubatista" Gülata whom was also on the bass guitar & Da-frogg was on the mic and gadgetry. The Live Shows featured Engin "Z-engin" Aydodu on percussions. Also Mehmet "Freak" Saraliolu played the bass guitar for a while at the obligatory absence of Öykü "Dubatista" Gülata. Late 2005 Guitar player Baran "Abaran" Atasoy and the singer Çidem "Tripp" Güvercin who was featured in some of the previous shows joined the band. Dubbing and sound engineering of the band is made by Tolga Tolun a.k.a. Onofon. HGSS Played Live Shows at Nayah, Rockistanbul'03, Babylon, Indigo (Phonem'04), M.S.Ü.

The music of HGSS varies from downtempo heavy dub to uplifting sweet vibes of reggae. HG is also influenced by Istanbul as every artist that lives in this "Mega-city". The Homegrown Soundsystem also continued to play dj sets whenever J-bro came to Istanbul and Da-Frogg played opening acts under the banner of the Homegrown Soundsystem for big acts as The Wailers, Horace Andy, Zion Train, Asher Selekta and others.
