A Transmission Of Sound System Culture

Roots • Culture • Education • Vibration

Embassy of Sound is a daytime into evening session dedicated to the foundations, spirit, and future of reggae sound system culture.

Running from 3–11PM, this is a whānau-friendly gathering where people of all ages can come through, spend time together, and experience dub music the way it’s meant to be heard, through a proper sound system, in a shared space.

This is more than a dance. It’s an educational and cultural experience, creating space to understand where this music comes from and what it carries.

Throughout the session, expect:
• Roots reggae and dub selections played with intention
• Sound system culture in action — weight, depth, and physical bass
• Selectors and hosts sharing knowledge of the music, its lineage, and its message
• A welcoming environment where you can listen, learn, connect, or move

Featuring:
Fish & Bread
Dive Deep (UK)

DIVE DEEP

A true earth element. Sub bass frequency’s, connecting us to the base chakra. A contemporary journey of roots and culture painted in the soulful colours of European Dub-reggae music.

FISH AND BREAD SOUNDSYSTEM

Fish & Bread originated in Auckland around 2016, as a sound system hand-built specifically to celebrate the rich catalogue of reggae based music from Jamaica and Europe.

We believe that reggae and dub music is best delivered through a sound system, where the music and message can be felt as well as heard. We play regularly around Auckland and beyond, either on our sound or similar, with the intention to bring heartfelt roots music to those who need it. Expect a musical journey from the mystical to the militant and beyond.
