DESCRIPTION:
Official Reggae Sound Clash: Arrows Hi Fi vs Java Nuclear ft Nitty Gritty, Leroy Gibbon, Chicken Chest, Professor Nuts, Cutty Ranks, Shaka Shamba,


JAVA Nuclear was founded by Colonal Brigadier, Macca, Joe 90 and Chanter Irie. Sadly the person who named the sound Giant is now deceased.

Becks and Bunig B originally hail from Stonebridge with Belly G coming from Harlesden and Mega Man originally from Jamaica. Belly G has been with the sound the longest at just 18 months whilst Becks and Bunig joined a year ago and Mega Man came along 8 months after them.

Prior to being on JAVA, Becks and Bunig used to play out at various parties using their aliases whilst Belly G was on a sound system called Roadrunner. They believe that JAVA is unique as a sound in that it is "one of the only sound to have its own system and equipment".

Each member got into the sound business via different means. Becks and Bunig played on a local radio station called Peoples Choice in 1993 while Belly G was promoting dances and Mega Man had an uncle who used to run a studio. As with their experiences, their inspirations were also varied. Becks and Bunig state they got into the business "through listening to Traffic Jam, Unique FM (and) Irie FM" whereas Belly G was listening to Bob Marley and Mega Man was "listening to sound tapes in Jamaica".

All the sound members enjoy "the buzz of watching people enjoy the music", but dislike "packing up afterwards". They class themselves as a juggling sound, but concede, "We have a few scores to settle". So this status might change in the future. They love all their dubs, but favourite artists include Bounty Killer, Capleton, Elephant Man, Harry Toddler and Lexxus.

As yet they have not been abroad on tour as a sound, but have been to a number of places in England including Manchester, Birmingham, Huddersfield, Nottingham and Leeds. They would love to tour Holland, Jamaica and the USA.

Currently the sound feels that Dancehall Reggae music is "on the up" because "the rhythms are getting faster (and) the artists are speaking their minds more freely".

If they weren’t involved in the sound business, Becks and Bunig would be on a radio station with Belly G still promoting and Mega Man would be an MC. They advise up and coming sounds "don’t throw any records away no matter how old they are. Never give up trying."

Arrows Hi fi International sound system originate Kingston in the mid 1960s. The sound system was aka Bilbo and Robert aka RO. The original entertain and Puddy Lion now better known as Puddy Roots o Ricky Zaggaluu and Papa Screw.
In the Early 80s the Arrows crew got more interesti the addition of new entertainers like Shaka Shamba, the lo Brown, Captain Sinbad, Papa Splint, Boney, Clarence Parks en Chest, Cutty Ranks, Beenie (Beenie man)Arrows. The M Leslie Thunder, Zu-Zu, Major Worries, Scion Success-d Pro International was one of the few sound systems of the cost USA fully equipped , that is an entire sound system with speaker bov amplifiers and the whole works.
One unique style that Arrows was known for was the way the suddenly turn down the bass and turn up the treble." Here you would sweet sound of the top end along with the tweeters. He would then suddenly could hear the baseline and the crowd would erupt with excitement which often ended with a "fahwud." Another unique thing about Arrows Hi Fi was whenever the selector
played part two, you could listen out for part three and even a part four of the same riddim. Arrows International Hi Fi was a real rub-a-dub sound.
It was such a honourable treat to hear all of the Arrows Hi Fi deejays say that Crutches is “my guiding star in the dancehall business. The great Crutches was a foundation deejay on Arrows Hi Fi sound system. Crutches represented Arrows from the days of “Wackie fence skank,” through to the days of “Harbour.. rock.” Along with Puddy Lion and Jah Mikey, he entertained from the 70s the 80s.
