ROUGH LYNX = WESTCOAST SOUNDCLASH CHAMPIONS 2007. CHECK OUT THE VIDEO SNIPPET.Rough Lynx Soundsystem was founded late 2003 by Andreas and David. They had been collecting reggae/dancehall-records for a long time and had a big interest in the jamaican culture but, until now, never had a joint way of sharing it with the public. Inspired by the true heavyweights of soundbusiness they decided to start a soundsystem of their own. The name Rough Lynx was an easy choice since they wanted a name that was both powerfull and had a connection to the north, where Sweden is situated.
Rough Lynx immediatley started building their dub box with specials and exclusives from top reggae aritstes of the world. Soon the club Knock Out was started where Rough Lynx worked both as promotors and resident sound. The club became a huge success and it had new artistes and soundsystems on the line up every time, Swedish aswell as foreign.
In Beginning of 2004 Jonas and Bjorn, also known as Kapten Rod, joined the sound.Rough Lynx was expanding and playing more and more at different clubs around the Gothenburg area. After Half a year Bjrn dropped out to consentrate on his recording career. Around this time the crew was reinforced by two new members; Ante and Olof, who before joining Lynx played a set called Northern Vibes. By now the crew was pretty much complete with versatile selectors who plays everything from rocksteady, roots, 80s digital and early 90s to the latest dancehall.
In the summer of 2005 Jonas moved to Oslo, the capitol of Norway. He was soon joined by David and the two crew members instantly began to play frequently in their new home town. Andreas, Ante and Olof continued to carry the vibe at home as usual.
Roough Lynx has had nuff clubs/events over the years and played in cities like Gothenburg, Malmoe, Lund, Helsingborg, Uppsala, Oslo and so on.
