_Rockers,‘soulheads and lovers: Sound systems back in da day 
<https://www.intellectbooks.co.uk/journals/view-Article,id=26018/>_

Authors: Michael McMillan

Page Start: 9

This article explores the emergence of sound system culture in Britain, 
from post-war Caribbean migration to the early 1980s, in terms of House 
and Blues parties, clubs and dancehalls, bass culture, dance-floor 
corporeality, and raver’s sartorial aesthetics and interventions, with 
reference to oral history interviews with sound system pioneers, 
practitioners and ravers from my installation-based exhibition, Rockers, 
Soulheads & Lovers: Sound Systems Back in Da Day

_Documenting London’s bass culture and blues dances:Reggae in the films 
of Horace Ové and Franco Rosso 
<https://www.intellectbooks.co.uk/journals/view-Article,id=26013/>___

Authors: Kate Bolgar Smith

Page Start: 29

This article provides an analysis of two black British feature films – 
Horace Ové’s 1975 film, Pressure and Franco Rosso’s 1980 film, Babylon – 
and integrates the films into a wider discussion of life in Britain 
during the 1970s–80s. Drawing on the musical and cultural theories of 
Paul Gilroy and on the poet Linton Kwesi Johnson’s concept of ‘bass 
culture’, the author argues that reggae creates what Clare Corbould 
calls an ‘aural community’ that is simultaneously local and transnational.

_Levels of locality and recent expressions ofreggae in Mexico 
<https://www.intellectbooks.co.uk/journals/view-Article,id=26017/>_

Authors: Christian Eugenio López-Negrete Miranda

Page Start: 79

This article discusses various issues surrounding the presence of 
Jamaican popular music in Mexico and focuses on issues of great 
importance as the arrival, development, adoption and adaptation of these 
musical practices that arise in specific times or time periods; in 
different levels of locality that are related to each other, at the same 
time related to the global; and that they express themselves by 
reinterpreting these genres in their own ways.
