Bushkillah Sound System was born in 2002 by the joining of two first class refugees of the italian dancehall movement: Davide-DVD, founder member of I-talsound from Milan and G-Luca, founder member of Gramigna Sound System from Rome. The experiences and knowledges they bring and put together for the foundation of Bushkillah,easily took them in the spotlight in Milan, where they pushed reggae vibes till dawn in the yards of Cantiere and Pergola, and even in the national scene with many important link-ups and collaborations. Bushkillah, in collaboration with TLD, began to promote many important events in the yard of Cantiere, bringing there most of the uprising soundsystem of that period such as Soundsgood&Mono, Nikitaman, BassFiMass, Goldenbass..... and started collaborating with Roddi and Giadama from RiverNile Sound System. These events let Bushkillah, TLD and Rivernile get together and set the foundation of "A WHO DEM PRODUCTION", a collective whose aim is to promote reggae music in the well known smoking yard of Bomboclaat Pergola; during the last years the crew dealt up with the planning of saturday night reggae events in Bomboclaat Pergola, bringing there some of the most reliable sounds, djs and singers of the italian reggae movement such as OneLoveHP, Gramigna, DjWar, Villada Posse, SismaSound, Moddi Mc, Madkid, RootsinnaMix, FidoGuido, GhettoEden, Kalibandulu, Bleizone.....Not to be forgotten is the experience of DVD from Bushkilla,that together with Mirko from TLD and Giadama from RiverNile, made possible those many reggae nights full of good vibrations of the past years in Pergola facing many tipycal problems and dangers - also related to personal safety - occurring even in Milan-Babylon by managing a social-artistic centre in this time.

KALIBANDULU was born in september 1999, when the crew performed for the first time in Saronno, opening the show for the band REGGAE NATIONAL TICKETS, while the passion for the whole jamaican music beated yet in TONI’s heart (aka REBEL T), founding member of the sound. Musically, BANDULU grew up in Milan under the influence of the djs that still are ruling the scene in the city, VITO WAR and REGGAE RADIO STATION, BASS FI MASS and BOMBOCLAAT in PERGOLA and most recently ITAL SOUND. An important crew, whose road met with the one of the sound, is MONZA INNA DE YARD. Born in the same period and met after a contention about a record in a shop, the crew from Monza town pushed KALIBANDULU members REBEL T, DIMI and TINO MAN to move their first steps, helping them to play all around the region and offering the chance to perform in their own yard, the DADA PUB. It followed a series of combinations with other incoming crews like GANJA COOKIES, MAMA ALMA and KINGALOVA. The moment that really changed the game was when CRISTINA aka PRINCESS MELODY invited us to play in BOMBOCLAAT, the biggest dance hall in town, at the time; an unforgettable night where KALI BANDULU showed his unique selection, a journey through the entire reggae music. Since then, BANDULU’s name has been printed on many flyers, playing in the major dance hall in Milan. In july 2000, KALIBANDULU took a trip to the ROTOTOM SUNSPLASH, in Osoppo, placing the sound in the camping and giving the chance to everybody to perform at their mic, big and emerging artists too (ASIAN DUB FOUNDATION, MYSTIC REVELATION OF RASTAFARI, MONO & NIKITAMAN, RODDY). In 2001 an incoming dj (employed in JAHMEKYA music record shop where also REBEL T was working regularly) called BUSH DOC’ joined the crew, followed by the MC BOB FIRE and dj POWER D, both from Salento. The latest entry is the MC selecta MAJOR LARRY, enlisted due to his turntables skills. In 2005 BOB FIRE went back to Salento and made KALI BANDULU one of the most appreciated sound in the area, collaborating with FULL SQUOD, BLEIZONE, BOOMdaBASH and DJ WAR and keeping a daily radio program called UP TO DI TIME. Last but not list coming in the family are two selekta MAD MIKE and MOIZ and the graphic BANDO strictly from Salento!!

TLDCREW was born in 2001 between Taranto and Milan by the meeting of Mirko (TUFO1) and Franco (PROMENADE), immediately followed by Andrea (V-MAN). In the first year TLD tried to melt up the two different souls of the crew; the reggae one identified in TUFO1 and V-MAN and the jungle/d'n'b one of PROMENADE. That decision gave birth to a weekly event realised in collaboration with the vj ABBOMINEVOLE, already working at Deposito Bulk in Milan.

After the summer of 2002, PROMENADE gets out of the crew, setting up the foundation of GolpeMovement and finally dealing exclusively with d'n'b. In 2003 the crew began working with Cantiere(MI), promoting dancehalls like Bushkillah, Bombhead, Madkid, Princess Melody and the crew itself. The friendship with Bushkillah (DVD and G-Looka), let the two crews put their energy together in order to set up a whole planning of events at Cantiere and led then,together with Bushkillah and RiverNile, to the foundation of "A WHO DEM PROMOTION", dealing with the promotion of reggae music in the yard of Bomboclaat@Pergola.

Meanwhile TLDCREW played in many different yards across Italy, accumulating experiences, friendships, and even more love for ReggaeMusic.
