The group consists of Mattias Lager aka "Matthew Woods" and Alexander Martyris aka "A.L.X". Both with a background in the Hip Hop culture since early eighties.
Both got introduced to Reggae music in the mid-nineties,
inspiering eachother to explore the sounds of traditional Reggae music, which led more and more to the spiritual sounds of deep Roots and Dub Music.Matthew Woods is a self thaught player of the melodica, inspiered greatly by his father who is a dedicated singer-song writer.A.L.X is more the sound egineer/technician-type with long experience working as a producer at different commercial radio stations. He started his musical career producing Hip Hop beats for different rap acts in Sweden. He got into producing Dub in 2000, and is now strictly dedicated to the "Art Of Dub".The combination of M. Woods musical talent,
and the technical side of A.L.X , makes the ideal fusion to create the harmonic,
but yet ruff sound of Social Living Sounds. The producing duo also have their own sound system and when possible getting their speakerboxes out in the open to share the vibes. They have song releases on the german Dub Flash Label. First a vinyl called "Social Living Sounds meets Gary Dub" then on a cd compilation called "Dub Royal". On the english Tanty Records label they appear on 2 compilations. And those are "Roots of Dub Funk 4" and "Roots of dub funk 5". Expect a release this year 2008 (more info soon) with the legendary Rod Taylor "Make it Work" and a release with one of Sweden´s most promising roots singers: Jah Zebi "Power of The Trinity" (more info soon). So hold tight! Blessings!
