Shaolin Soundstation

The Zen Of Reggae Music

About Me


SHAOLIN SOUNDSTATION - THE ZEN OF REGGAE MUSIC
In late 2000 the two founder members Iyamadara Wango (Selecta/MC) aka "Iyamurderer" and “Chris-I” (MC) build the sound to promote Reggae, Dancehall and carribean culture in the franconian area and in every dance they would ever line up.
Since then Shaolin Soundstation grew slowly but steadily and did play nice sets on Bashments in Erlangen and Forchheim, consequently invitations followed to play their sound in dances all over Germany and at some places in Europe. First Dubplates were voiced by artists like Luciano, Chaka Demus & Pliers, Everton Blender, Sean Paul, etc. to give the sound a specific touch.
Chris-I, who started as a musician in the reggae biz in the 90ies, heavily invested in a dubplatbox, not worrying about the moola, that established the sound..s clash reputation. At occasions like the “Franken-Reggae Clash” in early 2005 or the “Spanish Clash” in 2006, Shaolin proved that they could compete with other soundsystems. Recently, Shaolin finished on 4th position in the 2007 “DHM E-Clash” among 64 Sounds participating.
Today, Shaolin Soundstation can fall back on their over years collected foundation specials like for example Culture, Lee “Scratch” Perry, Justin Hinds, Toots & The Maytals, Eek A Mouse, Hopeton James, Marcia Griffith, but as well as new real specials like from Rodney Price, Sizzla, Capleton, Luciano and the “Dons” like Pinchers and Ninjaman to name only a few.
Alltough Shaolin Soundstation had to go through some breakups in the past, the crew is now stronger than before and the sound..s foundation stone is still active since the founder members "Iyamurderer" and "Chris-I" are still an important part of the Shaolin Family. Another Shaolin veteran is Thomas aka “Vibescontroller” who is one of the guys working in the background.
7 members left the sound on occasion over the years but it was only in 2007 that it was dared to copy the name Shaolin in order to raise a disturbance.
Alongside these founder members the current manning consists of the top-selector “Harry Rockwell” and the liveartist “Pharaow”. In this new musical unit, Shaolin Soundstation is able, and now also willing, to please every head and every newcomer in the dance to the fullest, with a selection reaching from the early 60s to the latest Dancehall and Hiphop selection. The Shaolin selection is under no self-censorship and the Dance is living from variety and entertainement.
The Shaolin Soundstation entertains the region with highquality events like the “Official German DancehallQueenContest”, soundclashs or live-events with big acts like KingKong, Pinchers, YT, Admiral Bailey, Alton Ellis and many more. Additionally, Shaolin Soundstation has been running it..s regular Dance in Nürnberg for more than 4 years now. National and international soundsystems have been invited to play their sound in the temple.
Special greetings are reaching out to following artists, with who we’ve worked together in the past years. A lot of them have become good friends and found their place in the Temple:
Pinchers & Lion Face, YT, Immortal Sound, King Kong, Soul Stereo, Paul Elliot, Lee Perry and his wife, Alton Ellis & Christopher Ellis, Rebellion the Recaller, Jah Meek, Crystal Axe, Jr. Demus, Singing Gold, Dr. Ring Ding, Fitta Wari, Singer and Producer Stevie Culture & Phee Phe, Heartical Sound (Paris), Sista Zoum, Singing Honour, Whiskey Bagio, Uk Apache, Wonder Prince, Andrew Paul, Thai Stylee, Shocking Murray, Natty Flo, Uprisin’, and many many more!
And of course we want to bigup the Shaolin Soundstation Massive, because....
