Born and grown in Lewisham (Saxon studio sound)

During the 70/80's i grew up in Lewisham (South east london) on a council estate, my Uncle was a massive reggae fan and collected vinyl in a big way. He would take me to concerts such as the reggae sunsplash events held at Crystal palace bowl and i was lucky enough to see artists such as Dennis Brown, david Rodigan, Sly and Robbie, Sugar Minot.
In Lewisham a regular night held by a sound system called Saxon studio sounds would throw regular events showcasing artists such as Maxi Priest, Tippa Irie, Smiley Culture and Papi Levi.

heres some footage of Dennis Brown live at Sunsplash 1984... (you can catch me as a kid in the crowd at 31 secs in lol).

In 1992 Saxon took the Uk Sound Cup Clash beating Luv Injection, V- Rocket, Stereophonic but later in the year lost in a very controversial clash against J.A's Bodyguard Sound at the Roller express.
1994 Saxon beat King Addies, Kebra Negrus and 1993 cup holders Bodyguard in the 1994 World soundclash making Saxon the first U.K. Sound to win the worldcup.
Later Saxon had a re match with King Addies held in Bermuda which soon became one of the most remembered soundclash's ever.

King Addies main selector Babyface went in hard and beat Saxon, Trever sax made a mistake by playing the Bunny lie lie Dubplate with the classic "Give me a dubplate and let me mash dem down" vocal and claimed no sound in the world could play this dub..BAD MISTAKE, Babyface came back and played his version and the clash was won. DANCE LOCK OFF!!!

This soundclash was sampled to fuck by most of the Jungle producers during the 90's such as "when me a murda sound me play nuff girl choon" or "me gwaan murda unno again" both sampled by Remarc.
Also alot of intros from dubplates by Saxon and Addis have been sampled by artists such as Shy fx, Dj Hype, Shut up and Dance etc and without this clash then alot of Jungle anthems from back in the day would never of been dreamt off.

Most off the world clash is on Youchoob and you can download the bermuda clash audio here
