(
Stuttgart, GER) Die Getwerkschaft der Reggae-Selectas geht auf Streik: sie fordern mehr finanzielle Unterstützung aus allen Reihen der Dancehall. Der Streik wurde am Montag Morgen den 15.06.2015 von den Vertretern der Plattendreher-Zunft Dj Meska und Shotta Paul ausgerufen. Wie lange die Auflegesperre anhalten soll und ob die Ausfälle zumindest teilweise durch den Einsatz von Mixtapes kompensiert werden können, ist zur Stunde ungeklärt.
Mix up: the video that says it all! Damion Dillingy and Keithy from Bass Odyssey and Shotta Paul and Dj Meska from Jugglerz discuss what happened at the dance in London on May 23rd, 2015 – hosted by Uk Dancehall Celebrity Splackavelli.
The dance named „Champions In Session“ was advertised with the motto „anything can happen“. So throughout the dance the young Jugglerz Sound from Germany threw a few musical punches at Bass Odyssey, one for not giving them a chance when they were lesser known in the business. The dance climaxed in a tune fi tune juggling where Jugglerz again fired a few musical shots at the legendary sound from Jamaica, much to the delight of the present audience.
Jugglerz Sound is the upcoming international sound from Europe. With only three years in existence they can already claim of having beaten Black Chiney from Miami in a Soundclash as well as shutting off both Tony Matterhorn and Killamanjaro in Jamaica.
Watch the full video of Europe’s biggest Dancehall Soundclash:
In Europe’s biggest Dancehall Soundclash at the sold out Club Yaam in Berlin, Dancehall Icons Bobby Chin and Willy Chin from Miami competed against Jugglerz, the youngest international Sound from Germany.
Some people expected it all the way, but a lot of people were surprised: after losing the first two rounds DJ Meska and Shotta Paul proved their highly advanced soundkilling skills and won over the big favourite from Miami, Florida.
The young German Soundsystem clearly proved themselves as soundkillers and created history by winning an international one on one soundclash after only three years in existance. With unique Dubplates and creative speeches, Shotta Paul and DJ Meska managed to win over the crowd, parts of which were booing in biasness even before the young German sound started to play.
It was all drama and exitement through the clash, with some of the most spectacular dubplates, remixes and counteractions played by Jugglerz. Black Chiney seemed to have fired off all their ammunition in the first two rounds and tried to rely on their class in the later rounds – but were completely disassembled by the explosive Jugglerz.
In the Dub Fi Dub Finale the argument again came to the point that young Jugglerz had to prove that they can play foundation artists, which was pointed out as their weakness by Black Chiney. Yet Jugglerz bravely defended their grounds with authentic soundkilling material and also introduced a young artist as a future foundation artist.
=> Great entertainment, exciting soundclashing and also an inspiring lesson for all ambitious young selectors!
Watch it youself: the entire Dancehall Soundclash from the first round to the dub fi dub finale in an exiting edit!
This is Soundclash history!

Wir werfen den Blick zurück auf die Geschichte einer Musik in einer Stadt, die eigentlich gar nicht Reggae ist, der Sound hier aber trotzdem perfekt hinpasst.
