FATMA SOUNDSYSTEM :
will provide the sound for our second edition 18/07
Fatma Soundsystem is a young Brussels crew of 3 selector/operator founded in 2022. Fatma crew wants to promote Soundsystem culture and share conscious & positive vibrations in the capital of Europe.
Dzing Dzong & Amir started their soundsystem journey by recycling old sound material and trying 12volts Soundsystem set-up evolving in a proper 2x 15inch JBL scoop.
In 2024, Jahkehline joined the crew and they decided to build their own boxes. The sound has now acquired a proper set-up to host parties but keeping the aim to improve it over time.
They’ve organized several dances inviting most of the Brussels dub activists and Soundsystems as well as different Belgian crews. Always carrying the sound of the « Palestinian Harp » they are often accompanied by different players of instrument and singers.
This dedicated crew embodies the essence of the old-school sound system culture with a modern twist, creating an immersive vibe that carries the energy of dub and reggae through the night.
