The Sea Sound Festival, which takes place on 17-20 July at Martinska in Šibenik, Croatia, brings about forty performers on three stages with three sound systems, guarantees four full days of musical celebration dedicated to sound system culture, on the peninsula opposite Šibenik.
The second edition of Sea sound Festival presents:
Channel One Sund System
Channel One Sound System is one of the most famous sound systems in the UK. It was formed in the late ’70s, when Michael and Trevor Bailey took over the sound from their father, Admiral Bailey. The name was chosen in honor of Channel One, the iconic Jamaican recording studio from which the brothers obtained many of their records. During that time, it was very difficult to come up with new reggae music, because it wasn’t played on radio stations or in local clubs. Blues parties and illegal bars were one of the few places where the latest and most popular reggae tracks were played on the sound systems.
Channel One began participating in the Notting Hill Carnival in 1982 and has since been a prominent and integral part of the Notting Hill Carnival, London’s largest celebration of Caribbean culture, especially the Afro-Caribbean communities, and has played a significant role in shaping the musical image of the event and its lively atmosphere. Channel One is run by Mikey Dread, the original selector, who exclusively plays the vinyl selection on his one gramophone. With him, various singers and MCs are refining the music with Rastafarian songs.
P.A.I.N
Headliners of the second edition of Sea Sound Festival P.A.I.N The Propaganda And Information Network, perform on Friday July 18 2025, on Martinska in Šibenik, Croatia. Formed in 1995, firmly nailing their flag to the DIY mast. Ever since, they have been festival favourites both across Europe and back at home in the UK. These Punk/Ska/Reggae pioneers have released a fist full of singles and EPs, but most notable are the three full lenght studio albums: “Oh My God”, “Ouch”, and most recently The critically acclaimed “Crisis Time”. This album was a long time in the making and according to the various reviews both in print and on line, it’s a masterpiece that’s been well worth waiting for and is a must for everybodys collection. The band have not been touring as much as they used to. So any chance you get to see this bunch of ragamuffin degenerates we urge you to take that chance and dance your socks off to their unique brand of Ska/Punk/Reggae.
