"Musically Mad" A Documentary about UK Soundsystem Culture

Musically Mad is a documentary on the UK reggae sound system scene made in 2008 by Swedish director Karl Folke  and produced by Andreas Weslien from Sweden’s Meditative Sounds.

It contains unique footage from dances as far back as the 70s and features interviews by such sound luminaries as Mikey Dread, Iration Steppas , Russ Disciples, Mad Professor, Fatman, pre-amp builder Mark Mostec and many more. 

Here at Dub Society what we enjoyed the most out of the whole deal were the descriptions of the hardware (first time in film in such detail) and of course the outrageous,old-school skanking moves (also quite rare in films).  We also need to make special notice on the musical score of the documentary that contains several unique specials and dubplates.
