THE DURTY SOUND SYSTEM

.Who are we? We are a sound system collective of artists, Djs, musicians, and revolutionaries. We are essentially a group of friends who feel that a massive change in society is required, a Social Revolution!
”I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the community, and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can.” George Bernard Shaw
Our passion for music, people and sound system culture has taken us everywhere; from clubs, skateparks and live music venues to carnivals and festivals.
”I find capitalism repugnant. It is filthy, it is gross, it is alienating… because it causes war, hypocrisy and competition.” Fidel Castro
Starting in our community, our objective is to educate through culture, creativity, and social responsibility to show what is attainable through nonviolent direct action.
”We who in engage in nonviolent direct action are not the creators of tension. We merely bring to the surface the hidden tension that is already alive.” Martin Luther King. Jr
By encouraging other communities to do the same we can mobilise the people. We hope to create massive social change on a global scale. Its up to the creative few, who think differently, to show that the world is for everyone, of all nations, langauges, colour and beliefs.
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil, is for good men to do nothing.” Edmund Burke
We are armed with a set of attitudes opposed to the the prevailing political culture. We believe in the reformation of personal identity, freedom of speech, music and arts, fashion, science, alternative technology, environmentalism, religious beliefs and decentralised media.
“When you live in a capitalistic society, the currency of the dissemination of information goes through capitalistic channels. Would Noam Chomsky object to his works being sold at Barnes & Noble? No, because that’s where people buy their books. We’re not interested in preaching to just the converted. It’s great to play abandoned squats run by anarchists, but it’s also great to be able to reach people with a revolutionary message, people from Granada Hills to Stuttgart” Tom Morello
With the right vibe, decor, sound and 24 hour party people there is nothing better than the feeling of putting together a fantastic event. Especially when involved in raising money and awareness for people less fortunate than ourselves.
“Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we’re being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I’m liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That’s what’s insane about it.” John Lennon
