MacLeod, Erin. 2020. “Ring the Alarm: Montréal soundsystems come fi mash it.” Medium.
The author describes the efforts of people in Montréal to keep sound system culture active through events like ‘iPod battles. The article was originally published in the Montréal Mirror in April, 2005 and includes interview excerpts from the author’s conversations with musicians such as Don Ignorance (founder of the Little Thunder crew), and Fatta. The discussion centres on the politics of reggae in the Canadian context, delving into the ins and outs of sound clash culture, including differences between the cities of Toronto and Montréal.
