Location:- GOLDEN PALACE BANQUETING SUITE, Unit 39 Hastings wood Trading Estate, Harbet Street, London N18 3HU Below is a map and directions to help you locate venue.
The blue spot roughly marks where venue is located on map.
 I suggest approaching from the Argon Rd end of Harbet Rd.
Follow the road up passing car pound on your left and as the road starts to bend to the left past the first large trading estate, you should see on your right, signs for "Hasting Wood Trading Estate" and "Golden Palace" and "Eddies Cafe" Turn right into estate and go through barrier by pressing buzzer and asking for access to Golden Palace.
Continue pass the first building on your right and then turn right and continue straight ahead. You will see "Eddie's Cafe" and "Golden Palace" straight in front of you...........you have arrived!!!

Everybody plays a part in this!

Can we start to put rankings/odds on these sounds to give us an idea of what league they are.....this way a if a bottom ranked sound on that flyer won it would look pretty impressive? not sure if that makes any sense, like most of my posts, but you can get an idea ------------- BbbBBRAAAAPppBBBBbgushhhhhhhhssshhhhhGrAbRAAAAAAPPPPPp = Dubstep |

We did toy with a similar idea. I suppose, each sound would have to 1st before being initially ranked. This may involve judges to give a fair ranking system so to avoid as if say the sound that was actually the poorest being ranked higher than they should by a biased larger crowd/following!! This is something we are looking into. |

As long as the judges are established, roots soundsystem owners or from a premier league system. Many posters on SP think their mate is the heaviest thing they've ever heard, but have never been to big name clash. ------------- "Please inform the Federation, we have engaged the Borg.." |

On entry to the venue everyone gets a piece of paper with the 4 sounds on it, at the end of the night each person ticks off in order who they thought were the best to the worst when they leave they put the paper in a box then onto excel spreadsheet later etc, then you could start to build up a percentage chart and a ranked system ------------- BbbBBRAAAAPppBBBBbgushhhhhhhhssshhhhhGrAbRAAAAAAPPPPPp = Dubstep |

Date Posted: 21 October 2011 at 10:00am
Yep, have seen this before.. And a lot of people think "Loud" is the best. Experienced veteran knows when he is hearing balanced, clean controlled sound, even when it is removing the roof. He also knows how to judge on factors like how many amps, quality of tunes, presentation, engineering, having no problems if using vinyl... Many people are easily impressed by just one of those aspects. ------------- "Please inform the Federation, we have engaged the Borg.." |

Are we saying these "soundchecks" are now stepping up to "SOUNDCLASH" status?
If thats the case then I do agree that, well respected and experienced "REGGAE" Sound Men/Sound Engineers should be the judges. Like Judge Dread, I've seen clashes were the majority of the crowd had a fovourite even before a tune is played. ------------- "Music is life" |

Personally don't think they should be upgraded to Sound clash status. As I know that will lead to "bare ego bizniz", and infinite number of "artist specials" being played. "Maybe" each soundcheck could be judged on, 1)Presentation 2)Weight, Mids, Tops, Sizzle ( ), how well sound fills the venue?3)Music 4)Amount of equipment used - Cabs+Amps+Outboard - Less is more points ? 5)Promptness, Professionalism, Crowd entertainment ------------- "Please inform the Federation, we have engaged the Borg.." |

if the sounds cover the venue then door money should go to whoever the people enjoy most. everyone before they leave write down who they enjoyed most and their admission will go to that sound. small incentive to perform. no clash, no competition, just an incentive to the sounds and some appreciation from the people they are playing for. ------------- Sound Hire/Sales new/used equipment. |

I agree with QSS, a clash dance is completely different to a soundcheck. I'm old enough to remember when I went to a clash dance and one sound was handing out £1 notes and whistles to the peepople so they could make the most noise even tho their sound and selection was crap but they were crowned champions as the crowd made the most noise for them (no names mentioned )!Also if it is a clash, no promoter can tell me how much boxes to bring. I'm bringing whatever I want to win the dance as if a man waan bring knife to gun fight, den a fi him bizness dat! I would prefer the sound checks as they are with all sounds on a level playing field (however think this venue deserves 6 scoops as it is a good size and can handle 6) Big up Motion 54 and all the sounds taking part in November.

If you're in "Roots/Dub" Clash in Scala, or many other established "Roots/Dub" venues, and the promoter says 4x or 8x box, then is 4x or 8x you're bringing. Those million box dance is not roots&dub ting. Seen Shanti/JTS/WSP blaze up Venues with only 4x scoops. In fact one time JTS only bought 6x scoops to an 8 box ting, running off "one amp", and still kept up with the rest.

If we have big enough venues then yes we can have sound clashes where sounds bring what they "OWN" not no borrow from friend or hire ting, but we can also have clashes where a maximum amount of boxes are allowed due to venue size. ------------- Sun Sun Sun |

I didn't mention anything about a winner or clash. Is Mykey started that foolishness (as usual instigating strife & contention). Along with getting the crowd to vote.. <facepalm> IMHO, clash is primarily for the benefit of the crowd. Thought soundcheck was primarily for sounds who don't play that often, to try/tune up their system in public, with other sounds present. Judges making decision about which sound overall did the best on day, encourages them in their quest, and provides the other sounds valuable input from experts. Clash does'nt do any of this. ------------- "Please inform the Federation, we have engaged the Borg.." |

However these event are run there will always be an ellement of competition, but it can be done in a constructive way. The way these events are run now where the punters which include other respected soundmen and engineers make there observations and give there suggestions on the forum or to the sounds personally on where and how a sound can improve is fine imo. Once we begin to intruduce official judges in anyway it then becomes a clash. ------------- "Music is life" |

I personally think there is room for both formats to work. We have been doing sounchecks for a while now, so most sounds should know where they stand so maybe it's time for some more serious sound clashes ------------- "Music is life" |
Posted By: JudgeDredd
Date Posted: 21 October 2011 at 8:13pm
So you're a mind reader now ? You have'nt been to "one" of those events, yet you know what soundman playing there are thinking? If you took the time to read into the history of RicenPeas, then SoundSystem Soundoff, it is easily recognisable Soundsystem soundoff was more about lesser known sounds getting an opportunity to give their systems a "stretch out", in an atmosphere, where crowd was mostly sound people, as opposed to dance goers. ------------- "Please inform the Federation, we have engaged the Borg.." |
Posted By: JudgeDredd
Date Posted: 21 October 2011 at 8:20pm
Sorry but don't agree. Some sounds are just not good enough yet to talk about clashing with anyone. So now instead of improving their sound quality and investing in quality cabs and amps, they'll be spending $$$ getting dubplates, and blowing drivers when they try to blast them. Mykey just mash up the vibe with his 1 post. If I want to hear sound clash, I'll go hear WSP, Shanti, JTS, Operation,JV, Kibir, EQ, Bosrah, Touch Above or similiar level. Because they know soundsystems, and machine is ready for war. Thought these soundcheck events were about upcoming sounds getting ready for next level. ------------- "Please inform the Federation, we have engaged the Borg.." |

Yes I agree that some of the sounds are not quite ready for the big league as yet, but I have
heard a few sounds in the soundchecks that would give some of the so called big sounds a run for their money.
I'm not saying to stop the sounchecks, HELL NO! All I'm saying is lets have some events where we
step up the game up a gear or two  ------------- "Music is life" |

Okay the MotioN54 squad have been having this discussion for couple of days bringing a element of competition into the SOUND-OFF not only is it a chance for a sound to blow off steam at full volume but to expand the next person into music he / she is unfamiliar with, there are hundreds of thousands of choons to be played not only to be playing Prophecy or Famine but starting from January there will be a next level being introduced to the SOUND-OFF as we want to get sounds back in the arena and not just waiting for "Carnival" wether Birmingham,Luton,Bristol or Notting Hill etc however not everyone will be able to afford to cut dubplates so this is about musical knowledge and quality of soundsystem so in 2012 let the games begin love,peace and bassline Solo MotioN54 |

Well done Motion 54, lets hope next year its a 6 or 8 scoop ting, that way we can separate the big sounds from the up and coming one with only 4 scoops  ! Or at least have one off events for 6 or 8 scoops throughout the year. A clash ting will just become negative imo as there are a number of sounds cutting plenty dubs but there sound isnt worth a quatty. As Judge Dredd said earlier, get your sound to sound right first, and then cut some dubs. Bless up. ------------- I am everywhere and I am nowhere! |

i dont think theres any need for judges, clash etc etc when 3 or 4 sounds meet inna venue everybody wants to do there best and walk away happy with there effort & contribution, some will go in with the intention to "ruff up the place" aswell which i dont see nothing wrong with healthy friendly competition the feedback thats recieved through this forum and via other channels is enough to know what the public thought of the dance but at the same time i dont see anything wrong with voting slips IF people want to fill them in ive seen when some of the rice n peas events have turned into a "clash" and even though the entertainment factor was great its not something id like to try myself ------------- PRECISION SOUND SYSTEM.

too true Tweeter, too true.
Not interested. Crate digging, now you're talking. My only experience of running clashes was a series of revival clashes, which had only a few rules:
1. No music after 1985 (it was a revival session)
2. No personal dubplates = automatic disqualification for breaking this rule
3. Dig deep and entertain us
The only people really impressed by sound playing personal dubplates are the sound playing personal dubplates. It's boasting, not Jah vibes.

hummm... kinda agree but tend to disagree, it's kinda like Formula 1 or Boxing mostly male dominated events however one & two ladies in the place attend to support people they know,if it starts to change up away from the original concept that means the music playlist will change to accomidate ladies which means another same ol same ol,all these events with excessive sound systems ie World Cup Clash,Shaka,Scala etc have a few women but it's a man ting , I don't wana start hearing H-Town or Trey Songs in a Sound Off bruv |

I think ladies opinion applies mostly to a Dance. RicenPeas & Soundsystem soundoff as I understand it, is opportunity for crew to test their machine, in presence of other crews/soundman. If soundman brings his woman, nice, but gig priority to impress other soundman, not women, yes? Proper soundman's woman will complain if not enough heavy tunes are played, or bare dubplate/dancehall tings played. My woman asked me if I was ready to go at last gig, when vocal only track was played. ------------- "Please inform the Federation, we have engaged the Borg.." |

Will i have to agree with Solo on this matter i stopped going to dances because am feed up of djs playing music just for the woman so there can sing along don't want to hear it always end up holding up the bar and drinking to much sick of it. Drop the bass heavy and if woman don't want to come because there don't like the bass or the music so what all the woman i know love it,as for old revival session have no problem with that but no cds only vinyl.

After reading all of this read looks to me like people are looking for 3x different things, 1. Reggae Dance 2. People looking for R&C - that could mean dancehall, revival clash 3. Dub Best RicenPeas sessions in my books, were when at least one sound specialised in Dub all night.

LISTEN UP!!!! A soundcheck is what it says SOUND CHECK! Soundman pays his money to string up his system in a hall usually used for dances to check out how his systems sounds in a proper hall and compare ti to others in a similar position or to showcase his system to potential promoters, and hopefully get some constructive feedback from those who attend. It is not a competition. So the man should be allowed to play what he wants "within the guidlines" so as not to let things get out of hand. If a promoter wants to have a soundcheck just for "roots sounds" then thats a different ting. If a propoter wants to promote a "sound clash" that again is someting different. ------------- "Music is life" |

Solo, get lazy Macca out to do some filming. And I rest my case with my last statement .... Let's just try and keep this sound thing going in whatever format. Most of all let's have fun people... |

But you have the same problem with a revival dance were a selector can get carried away and plays selection that is too deep for the public and that can get very boring... I say let the sound play what they want some of their dubs won't be heard again anyway.. Big up the promoter keep up the good work...... |

Well said!What I haven't seen in any of the sound checks I've personally been to unless I've missed it, is a system pull down there stack, rearrange it & set it differently!
For instance, the sound-off with the system with the A.S.S DC full scoops (Motion) would have been good to hear the same stack with the scoops upright. Nuh true?
More than enough people there who know wouldn't hesitate to swop it round. Would take a few seconds.

Next time!
No matter how heavy they are, trust me, that stack would be changed quick! A few of us even briefly discussed it on the same night!
Wouldn't mind seeing a few systems changing over pre-amps/front end during the sound checks!

Come on guys please lets keep these discussions positive and low the negative vibes. Bindair.. I don't know who you are but it seems like every discussion you get involved in has a negative vibes with it. What's that about. Are you genuine or are you just here to create a rift in this soundsystem comunity, because that's how it look to me  ------------- Sun Sun Sun |
