Irie Vibes 12th Birthday: Channel One Sound System DJ Set

It's our 12th Birthday bash, at the Crescent. We've had a Covid nap and now we're back with a bang.

Channel One are returning to the Crescent after more than a decade- they never fail to provide upliftment with their positive music and message. Take this opportunity to see these living sound system legends.

Channel One Sound System is one of the UK’s best known and most loved  reggae sound systems. Channel One is made up of selector Mikey Dread and MC Ras Kayleb.  They play a unique selection of conscious reggae, exclusive dubplates and uplifting steppers.

Channel One’s mission is “to break down barriers via reggae music”,  they have achieved this by travelling and playing to new audiences and  venues all over the world. Highlights from the last decade have  included winning the Redbull Culture Clash in 2010, (beating Metalheadz and Skream and Benga), playing in the next round of the Culture Clash at Wembley Arena against Major Lazer, Annie Mac and Boy Better Know in  2012 and embarking on 5 national tours with backing from the Arts Council, curating line ups including the Twinkle Brothers, Congo Natty,
Mad Professor.

Meanwhile Irie Vibes residents will be raising in support, raising a glass to a dozen years of dub, sweat and tears!

See you there!
