SSLy Scout
‘Intricate guitar solos and beautifully crafted string arrangements’ are not what you hear when you listen to SSLy Scout - sound system dub vibration is the order of the night.
This dub music artist/producer from Bristol has been heavily influenced by the dub reggae founders and new electronic dub pioneers as well as the sound system and party culture of his home city.
Bristol has a deep rooted afro-caribbean culture and SSLy (pronounced Sly) has been tuned by its heavy vibration since youth. Scheming out of his studio built in the loft of a once derelict farm house, his sound is crafted on an odd mixture of analogue and digital gear collected over the years from the early 90s. Looking around his studio it is more Poor-tools than Protools. SSLy obviously doesn’t want to stick to the ‘standard equipment line up’ for his genre.
SSLy owns, operates and DJ’s on a sound system which had residency at ST Paul’s Carnival in Bristol for 10 years before the pandemic. Not following the usual sound system convention SSLy mounted the rig on to an upcycled elevating ex-military truck creating a dramatic stage. Over the years SSLy has DJ’d parties and clubs across the city including the legendary Lakota club and rocked the crowd at Bestival.
To add to SSly’s exploits he is launching a record label called ‘dUb from the ruins’ the first release being a debut from SSly Scout on 7” vinyl called ‘babylon dayz’ featuring a ‘warning message’ in the form of reggae vocals from Jay Spaker aka Double Tiger vocalist/producer/co-founder of the legendary Dub-Stuy sound system and record label out of Brooklyn New York. babylon dayz will be released in october 2023 and no doubt the release party will be hosted on that awesome military truck sound system.
