- 2022 marked the return of the London Notting Hill Carnival, as well as the 40th anniversary of Channel One playing at the same Carnival (at their usual "Channel One Corner" location at the junction of Westbourne Park Road and Leamington Road Villas). So a video that was a bit "out of the ordinary" seemed a good idea.

Don’t care if it’s Rock,Rave or your very own Reggae there is something about a big sound system that wets my whistle. Fair play that looks absolutely beautiful too me.
What a great comment - from someone that is not even into reggae! Thanks, Dave the Rave (from Stan the Man),
I just happened to find myself at this festival... back in late 90's
I still get emotional when I think of the BASSS, no recording or Verbal description can do it justice.. mmmmmmmm, I love BASS
Biggup to this crew, grafted putting all components together and ready for the carnival experience. Thanks for a behind the scenes look 👌🏽🤜🏽🙏🏽
And I like the classic look of their speakers. Thanks for the comment, D J!
Alot of graft and organisation. It creates a spiritual creation and I LOVE it. So grateful. Great vibes and music 💯
A lot of graft done together with good humour and friendship.
One of the most important videos of channel ONE ❤💛💚🖤🍁🌴🌱💥💥💥💯💥
Wow, what a great comment! Thanks DG RJR!
After watching this video, I hope that Channel One fans will appreciate more all the jobs that have to be done before the records get played. Including having to do an interview while you are still trying to sort out some final wiring or electronics problems.
Agree with DG RJR. They were my introduction to the world of sound system back at university, and I've seen a few clips and pictures of the setup but never the whole process. Really drives home the family/community element of the crew that runs these things - that it's not just Mikey and Kayleb.
Also makes one appreciate even more how mighty their sound is, easy to forget just how big and heavy the boxes are once they're all neatly stacked up! Cheers for sharing.
Im watching this ...ok heres my connection ....one, my dad lived on the front line in brixton and built sound systems from amps to boxes and is known by most of them King tubbys and others called him Uncle ....i won't give his name ...so as a kid at five i would see four face speakers with Red yellow and green lights on them as high as the room. So its in my blood...his system is in Maypen in a club right now. two i moved to westbounre park rd in 2017...so i met Budgie and we was working on a book about the is history of sound systems ...I learnt even more ...me and the dread of people sound he past away but in ghana in one of his houses hangs one of my photos of Joseph with the key to the church that Halie tomb lays. So why am i writing this well im see one of the white box man has a bocca top on .......Im now in Argentina watching the carnival pre day.....i been going to carnival since 85.....connections and im so far away ...thanks for the post. JAHHHHHH
RAAAAASTAFARI. Well, that was a comment coming right from the heart. Thanks, AR 23, for taking the time to write this. Glad it brought back so many good memories for you. I had to look up 'bocca' and I think you are referring to the Argentinian football shirt that one sound man is wearing ("La Boca, the Buenos Aires' neighbourhood famed for its colourful houses, its tango and its soccer team, is the one spot that makes every visitor's agenda").
This could be the last carnival footage we see with Kayleb as part of the team. Great footage keep it up m8.
Thanks, Field Marshal, that is news to me.
Yes yes
Yes, man!
I Love this video! I watched it twice when it came out and now watching it again! Amazing Sound System Stringing up ritual! 💚💛❤🖤
Thanks, WarriorQueen! Bizarrely, the video with the least reggae music in it, is the most popular!
cool video of the sound crew
and settting all up.. thanx!
Thanks for leaving a comment, lars. Glad you liked it. I might do another one this year!
It requires so much effort and time to set up the whole system. It's a wonderful tradition and kind of ritual. Kind of meditation, same as the whole session. Much appreciate your hard work to bring Jah sounds for all reggae family. Keep it up brothers. Bless up!
Thanks for the comment, Uhr Shak! I never expected to get comments mentioning spirituality, rituals and meditation. There have been a few such comments now. Interesting!
Great video brother..! Had some good times at Channel one Party's - Carnival back in the day.
Glad it brought back some good memories for you! 40 years is a lot of carnival history.
This was amazing to watch 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thanks, Kishberry! As this was so popular, I will have to repeat it at Carnival 2023 - and this time stick around until the first tunes get played!
@Reggae Man Stan Great idea, and I know how much hard work goes into these videos so salute to you, brother!
Na turn up at ah club and plug in .......................... " Proper sound men
40 years of Carnival experience there amongst the three main men.
Great video guys
Thanks for the comment, sister!
🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
What’s the reason behind not using line array speakers… scoop bass cabins being used as opposed to main stream subwoofers that adorn most concert setup… is there an advantage to large outdoor setups to use one over the other?… thank U
No idea. That's definitely a question for the Channel One team! All I would say is that Channel One is a traditional style sound system and what they have is enough for their requirements.
Big up Mikey controlling the 7.5T truck, skill ah deal with! Ras Kayleb, why him leave? The only time the uninitiated acknowledge we as a people. When dance done it back to business as usual, big up the initiated and keep the unity all the while
LUVIN IT!
Thanks for the first comment, Ray! Glad you like it (it might bore some people who are just after music).
@@ReggaeManStan Loved the footage of Jah Observer chatting to Mikey Dread, OLD SKOOL!
@@raycyst007 Yes, I liked that part too. Totally unplanned. Just being in the right place at the right time (and knowing who they were).
@@ReggaeManStan Shame you couldn't film simultaneously every rig being set up that morning!
@@raycyst007 I can do the impossible, but miracles take a bit longer ...
Fascinating, thanks Stan. It's a spiritual ritual in some way. Interesting to see Jah T screwing the mid-high boxes together if that's what he's doing. Do they leave the system out overnight on Sunday or break it all down again?
Glad you found it fascinating, HonestSonics. Yes, I noticed the screwdriver being used and wondered why, after all, the whole speaker stack gets strapped down very tightly before use, so it's not like the mid-high boxes will be rattling against each other. Jah T told me that the speakers are left out overnight (covered with tarpaulins, I presume) and a couple of people would stay with the truck to keep an eye on things overnight.
That wasn't Jah T it was me, and I wasn't screwing them together but repairing a bit of the woodwork that had started to come apart :)
@@Nimai_HiFi thanks for the insight
@@Nimai_HiFi Mystery solved. Thanks, Nimanzer! 40 years of carnival must be taking their toll on some of the speakers.
What a carnival! Does someone know the last tune? Crucial one! Thanks!
Easy - I got a copyright claim warning over that last tune! It's Look Within Yourself by Tetrack.

Anyway thanks for guiding me through this tune!💪
@@martinfrdm1245 You're welcome. Produced and arranged by Augustus Pablo - definitely a crucial roots tune.
Esos si son sound sistem no como los sound sistem de cartón que tengo
Translation: "Those are sound system not like the cardboard sound system that I have".
LOL! Gracias for the comment, Alex!
Keep u the works!!!
Thanks! I have five events planned in the next two weeks so expect a few more videos soon, some from new venues including Hackney Carnival.
Hey,
How much RMS is one wall?
Ooh, very technical! I would answer "sufficient".
What do you suggest the carnival organisers do to stop the violence, should they surround the perimeter with fences and metal detectors?
Give everyone a free gun on entry, to defend themselves with. A small pistol would be sufficient. A Kalashnikov AK-47 would be a bit of overkill. But for someone who is especially afraid of violence, a Kalashnikov AK-47 would give them a greater feeling of security. Charge a small deposit e.g. £5 pounds for the pistol, £10 for the Kalashnikov, to ensure they give the guns back when they leave (rather like those supermarket trollies).
@@ReggaeManStan Funny.
Your government is more dangerous for you than any carnival could be.
If you're planning to be doing a lot of dancing, go for the small pistol. The Kalashnikov weighs about 3.5kg.
I thought the weapon of choice was cold steel.
It's a stabby culture.
Whose next for the set up insight?
There's the Hackney Carnival on 11th September. So if I go early, there will be four sound systems setting up out in the open air ...

And Solution Sound system will be playing at Hackney Carnival from 12 noon to 7pm. Perfect!
@@ReggaeManStan thanks, The Revival clash on 17th?
@@countroyhifi8730No, as I'll be on holiday in the second half of September. There was a Roots Youths Dublife #4 event on 18th September too that I wanted to be at.
