One Mission Soundsystem

2001
In spring 2001 two reggae-possessed youths from Essen resolve to spread Jamaican soundsystem culture out of the heart of the Ruhr area. In May of the same year Phillip (Selecta/MC) & Christoph (Selecta) set up One Mission Soundsystem and are to be found in the dancehalls of the Ruhr area since then.
Step by step the sound is growing and prospering, the musical repertoire is getting more voluminous and dances, too, are extending more and more. Over the years One Mission have managed to increase local popularity of Reggae and Dancehall music as well as to establish contact points for all massive being crazy about dancing.

From that time on One Mission’s selection consisting of finest tunes and riddims has steadily been enriched by proper remixes and dubplates. In the meantime also the crew has been enlarged: In 2006 Markus, a.k.a. Giant who is a longtime friend of both, joined as additional MC. One Mission still stand for original Jamaican vibes. Who has already checked a One Mission dance once knows that he’ll be offered a piece of Jamaica in the Ruhr area for one evening.
In doing so One Mission have busted the borderlines of the Ruhr area long ago and have often nationally as well as internationally been on their way in order to blaze abroad their sound.
Through constant engagement the three of them can look back on a number of parties, which were characterized by the collaboration with varying soundsystems like Top Frankin (DE) or David Rodigan (UK) as well as live artists like Mad Turkey (GH), Fitta Warri (JA), Ann Shakes (JA), Dr. Ring Ding (DE), Mono (AT) & Nikitaman (DE), Chin (DK) & Wendy Wonder (DK), Singing U (JA), Shocking Murray (JA), Seltza (US) or Tallojah (FR) & Bandem (FR) - and in the future, too, a whole heap of wicked dances by One Mission are to be expected...
