Here is Introducing B_Team's bio and Heartical HiFi's for those who don't know them.


B_TEAM SOUND SYSTEM is a musical project born inside the Deposito Bulk,a squat in Milan. the crew is composed by Sberla 23, Lo_Chef, Mnt, Tommy Tumble, TurnTable Mind, Dj Cucca, Ede, Dj Narko and Lollo.

The crew was born in 1999, out of the wish of Sberla 23, Lo_Chef and Dj Cucca to transmit their own musical message during student protests and the early parties in the squat. Around that time the crew became bigger when TurnTable Mind, TommyTumble and Ede joined the crew, and later on Dj Narko and Lollo.

B_TEAM's yard was the squat where the crew had the pleasure and the honor to share they own space with artist like King Shiloh Sound system, Alien Army, DMC final 2004, Iration Steppas Sound system, Zion Train, King David Warriors Sound system, Soul Jazz Sound system, Aba Shanti-I, BassFiMass Sound system, IXN (Spiral Tribe) and as many national emerging artists as we could get our hands on.

In the legacy of T.A.Z. (Temporary Autonomous Zones), multiple T.A.Z.s were realised by the B_TEAM collaborating with Latitanz crew, Black Quirex crew, S.Q.U.O.T.T. crew, Touch Response.

In the 2004, the crew acquired a residency at the Pegola Tribe squat and later on at the Leoncavallo squat with a monthly residency called Input. Since that time, the crew have played, promoting artists and event like Breakbeat Kaos showcase feat. Fresh, Baron, Dj Aphrodite, Knowledge & Wisdom Tour featuring Souljah, Terry T, Tenor Fly, Peter Bouncer, Demolition Man, Noisia, Total Science, Manasseh, Brother Culture, Uk Apache Cyantific, Alpha&Omega, Apparat, Smellz like clash competition 05-06, DMC final 08.


B_TEAM SOUNDSYSTEM is one of the most active dub and drum&bass crews in Milano with their own 20KW soundsystem to fuel the pumping tunes.

HEARTICAL HIFI OUTERNATIONAL. Bio


The project started in 2002 when Derek Heartical began to draw up the plans for what was to be Victoria’s first Dub Reggae sound, dedicated to forwarding a ‘Sound System culture’ in Australia. It was self funded on a shoestring budget and so took many years until it was ready for play for the first time in 2006.
Now consisting of custom built audio equipment, a number of speakers and amps etc, Heartical HiFi boasts the ability to deliver the music like no other. At the heart of the system a special type of pre-amp is used, built by the UK’s legendary soundman Jah Tubbys. This enables the sound system to be played live, and by using using extended EQ control, echo, reverb and special effects this all gives Heartical HiFi its unique sound. Heartical HiFi’s live shows deliver the music in fine style, forwarding only quality selections in conscious reggae and dubwise from vintage classics to latest releases, and exclusive specials - all with the anticipation of a mighty bass line drop!

The Heartical HiFi crew: Derek Heartical, Cassawarrior, Boover Banton.

Derek Heartical grew up in Liverpool Uk and became interested in the music through discovering a pirate radio station called Toxteth Community Radio that played mostly Soul, RnB, Jazz and Reggae during the mid to late 80’s. A friend introduced him to veteran reggae singer Roy Cousins (The royals) who ran a record shop called Cousins Cove in Picton Rd at the time. It was visits to this shop that helped nurture his growing appreciation of reggae music, and after attending London’s Notting Hill Carnival and experiencing Jah Shaka dance sessions in Finsbury Park, Derek was enlightened to the soundsystem culture of black Britain and would travel near and far to hear the music. A decade later he gave DJing a try playing records at the Zanzibar Club in Liverpool and within the underground party scene. In 2001 Derek migrated to Australia and continues to be based in Melbourne where he has played numerous gigs under the name DJ Uptight at many of Melbourne’s top music venues. He has been billed alongside various international artists including Dub Syndicate with Lloyd Parks, Lee Scratch Perry, Mad Professor, Sly And Robbie, Mykal Rose, Big Youth, Third World, Iration Steppas, Lucky Dube, Luciano, Mikey General, Horace Andy and Bushman to name a few. In 2002 he began to build the Heartical HiFi sound in which today he devotes much of his energy. In 2004 Derek became involved with community radio where he presents Break The Chain formally the Heartical Show on PBS106.7FM.

Boover Banton caught the sound system bug at the early age of 10 years old. Skipping his Friday night boys brigade meetings to attend the legendary Canterbury Sessions in Birmingham UK where in 1972 Quaker City Soundsystem used to host the dance. These where the days when sound system style toasting was emerging with the likes of U Roy and I Roy. Two years later Boover and his family moved to London. A good friend of the family was rock steady singer Roy Shirley who owned Third World records shop in Stoke Newington and the young Boover Banton could be heard toasting to the riddims being played in the shop. Determined to make his name on the sound system circuit he would occasionally touch the mic for Warrior HiFi. Another two years passed and the family moved to Cardiff and this is where Boover’s reputation as a toaster grew momentum and would see him travelling to Bristol, Gloucester and Manchester with his own sound Lion Heart. Later Boover returned to London and made his way up the MC league busting the mic for Intrepid Rebel before gracing the stage with Gemi Magic one of the UK’s biggest sounds at the time. Nowadays Boover Banton lives in Melbourne where he chats on the mic with Heartical HiFi Outernational.

Cassawarrior grew up in Gisborne on the east coast of the north island in New Zealand and made his move to Melbourne in 2001 to pursue his musical interests. In 2006 he got involved with Heartical HiFi as a box man. Soon later he was given the opportunity become a selector on the sound and was then given his name in all due respect for his Maori background where music runs deep in the blood. A composer and musician in his own right he is in demand within the local music scene, and his latest venture sees him locking down the bass grooves for Ethio jazz group The Black Jesus Experience. He can also be seen DJing at many different venues around town.
