Soundmash
Women-led reinterpretation of the Jamaican Soundclash

Three years ago, it was one room, one soundsystem, one pot of dal. Like a good dal, it's been slowly simmering, thanks to you all, we're ready to feed you for three days with heartwarming food, two handbuilt soundsystems and diverse South Asian culture.

Dub & Dal is about celebrating roots and community,creating spaces around the world that feel like home, but are accessible to everyone.
