Dubapest HiFi is the first real reggae soundsystem in Hungary. The sound’s 2 selectas and operators are Jahfar and Captain Midnite, accompanied by Haroon Ayyaz on the microphone. The sound currently has 6 scoops, 2 double kick boxes, 4 mid-high boxes and two tweeter boxes, with 30 000 watts in amps. The 2 selectas play various styles as roots reggae, dub, stepper, early and new digital. Jahfar’s selection is more deep and spiritual, Midnite likes to shake up the dance digital style while Haroon Ayyaz promotes love, harmony and consciousness on the microphone. The combination of their music taste introduces the listener to a wide spectrum of real reggae music. Dubapest HiFi’s goal is to unite the people through the messages in reggae music, to wake up the people with love in this consumerist generation.

Lee Scratch Perry’s Vision of Paradise
Filmed over 15 years, this is the story of the legendary Lee Scratch Perry, the inventor of Reggae and Dub, and a guide how to change the world with art and music. A thrilling, poetic story with the legendary Lee Scratch Perry, this movie is a unique project in many ways: it’s not a biography but rather a fairy tale documentary! The director followed Lee Perry for 15 years and discovered a story that is almost impossible to believe: a revelation, told about and with one of the major protagonists of contemporary music. It is a mind-blowing encounter with “the” inventor of reggae and dub, the mentor of Bob Marley and as such one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. The movie is a humorous adventure of epic dimensions and can be seen as a guide for how to change the world with music – with a positive attitude, mind set or, as Lee Perry calls it: “vibration”.
