Themes that intertwined through their songs vary from love to actual economic problems, with music based on positivity of everyday life. Positive vibrations, as the unavoidable theme of reggae music, are sort of trademark of the band who, in good and bad times, spreads the brightness and opens its hands to all people of good will. The warmth of the Caribbean rhythms of Jamaica is best represented in the Brain Holidays live performances where the spell of the seven-piece band comes to full expression.<\/p>\n

Bass Culture Sound System (ZG)<\/strong>
\nBass Culture Sound System was founded in 1999, when for the most people their name already associated on the distant past and the legendary third album of Linton Kwesi Johnson. At that time, the rare ones considered the bass culture as a permanent origin of the different style of club music rooted in the Caribbean soundsystems. Bass Culture encompassed the legacy of the old school roots-reggae and the innovations that the producers of electronic dub and jungle were bringing on the scene every day. The expansion of bass culture began with monthly residences in Mo\u010dvara and SKUC, and among them,\u00a0written in the chronology of the oldest reggae crew in Zagreb, happened the performance at the first Seasplash.<\/p>\n
