Simba Roots — a selector, sound system builder, and long-time contributor to reggae and dub culture from Turkey.

Active since the late 90s, he has built his own sound system, worked with artists across different scenes, and helped shape a local platform for dub in Istanbul through regular sessions and events.

In this interview, we talk about how it all started, what it takes to build a sound system from scratch, and how a local scene can grow over time. We also discuss the philosophy behind sound system culture and why it continues to resonate across the world.
