Earl Gateshead
Trojan Soundsystem, UK
As an integral part of Britain's sound system culture, Earl Gateshead's involvement in reggae spans over two decades. While promoting punk bands in the '70s, Earl unwittingly became a DJ when he couldn't find one to support his acts, playing reggae between punk groups at The New Queens Head in Brixton. Shortly afterwards Earl began his 20 year residency at infamous Dive Bar in Soho, operating his own home made sound system. He soon joined forces with a larger sound called Armoury 89, and through the '80s the sound system played West Indian clubs and squat venues all over the UK. During this period their main MCs were Maxi Jazz and Mr C. and Earl became Big Youth's and Dr.Alimantado's tour DJ. Currently, besides his Trojan Sound System commitments Earl is a regular reggae guest at Fabric or clubnights like Secret Sundays and Laser Magnetic. This special two hour exclusive mix comes direct from his 7"s straight onto cassette... beware of the bumps. No matter what di people say, these sounds lead di way!
