Bass Foundation Roots Sound System is owned and operated by Delhi Sultanate and Begum X. It's hand-built and one of only a handful Jamaican style systems in all of South Asia.

They decided to build their own system so they could share the music they love with the sound quality and power that reggae music truly deserves and to be able to produce shows and have the freedom to organise events for people outside commercial and elitist club venues.

We’re joining BFR Sound System on a 5-day journey at the end of October from New Delhi to the remote tribal villages of Haflong-Assam to partner with Daniel Langthasa to host The Big Bang Festival of Love. A 2 day outdoor festival in the jungle celebrating the unifying power of sound system culture and the dance, to bring people together in inclusive spaces.

We'll be platforming the local folk music with artists from the region and creating space for collaboration and experimentation through dub.

'Excited to learn more about the deep rooted connection in India to the sound system culture. Really interested to follow the impact of this journey, sharing their passion for this music culture to help break down systemic class divides and reach new audiences in remote areas of the country.'
