Curated by Nate Coltrane, this special event brings together sound system culture, performance and movement to explore the enduring impact of Caribbean heritage in the UK.

Headlined by legendary sound system operator Aba Shanti-I, playing on Sheffield’s own Sinai Sound System, the session centres on sound as a force for connection, resistance and collective experience. Rooted in decades of cultural practice, Aba Shanti-I’s sets are both deeply spiritual and politically resonant, embodying the foundations of UK sound system culture.

The programme also features Volume, by Ashley Holmes and Jamal Sterrett. Volume is a collaborative live performance linking Britain and Jamaica through sound and movement. Drawing on Bruk Up, a Jamaican Dancehall style, it stages an improvised exchange between DJ soundscapes and embodied choreography, foregrounding diasporic memory, hybridity, and evolving Black sonic and dance practices.
