SENTINEL.

A Sentinel is a guardsman. In the Sentinel crew's view, a Sentinel should protect and bring forth the positiveness in every individual being out there. Musical pleasure, excitement and passion is what Sentinel stands for as a reggae soundsystem. Being founded end of 1998 in Stuttgart, Germany, the soundsystem has experienced many different stages of musical quality when it comes to Reggae and Dancehall. Foremost, the most essential part of a Sentinel show is to give the crowd what they are longing for and therefore it is very important that there is a certain musical and lyrical mutual understanding between the MC of the soundsystem and the massive. The crowd needs to respond to the tunes that are being played and it is the aim of Sentinel to make the people understand what the lyrics mean and thus give them access to the whole thing as our interpretation of jamaican soundsystem culture. They made their first big impact on the international dancehall scene in September 9, 2003, when the German reggae magazine Riddim chose Sentinel as the representative for Germany to compete against three other international namebrand sounds in the Riddim Soundclash in Munich, Germany. Although Sentinel went second place after the world sound Killamanjaro, they managed to defeat the triple World clash winner Blackkat and the widly respected foundation sound Downbeat the Ruler out of New York City.


POW POW MOVEMENT.

The Pow Pow Movement from Cologne, Germany, are among the great pioneers of dancehall music in Europe. Their foundation dates back to 1992, coinciding with their legendary trip to Jamaica. Ingo and companions bring the bases for the great development of the German reggae scene by being the first to invite legends like Stone Love, Bodyguard, David Rodigan, Saxon, Tony Matterhorn and many others to their events. Pow Pow hit the peak with an invitation to the 2001 World Clash in New York, becoming the first European sound to attend this very important competition. This German crew is also famous for their productions: remarkable with riddims such as Shanty Town, Blaze and Superior literally making reggae history in recent years. Pow Pow's dances are always a remarkable experience, with the perfect balance of energy, passion and competence.
