The Barrier Free crew consist of Doctor
and K.S.K. The two friends
were fascinated by the sound system
business, and with little funds they
did various manual jobs to raise funds to build the system.
Their sound system has been established for 7 years now and
recently won two of the biggest sound clashes in Japan.
They got their first big international break in Jamaica at fort clarence beach by appearing on Fully Loaded 2K8.
In march 2009 they Entered the world sound cup clash and surprise everyone by coming a very respectable 3rd place, ahead of many of the big and long established clash sounds.
Unlike other Japanese sound systems, Barrier Free is from the ghetto
of Osaka, Japan. Commenting on the concept behind the name Barrier
Free, Doctor say, "There are lots of barriers from cultures,languages
and races . We come to break down all barriers through music."
They are very much looking forward to play all over the world.
"Anytime we ready to buss the place with bad dub plates& talk " ,KSK
say.
This is definitely the sound taking over the far east and the world..

SIR COXSONE SOUND
Sir Coxsone (AKA Lloyd Coxsone, real name Lloyd Blackford(1))
came to the UK in 1961(2) from Morant Bay, St Thomas, Jamaica,
had started out with his own Lloyd The Matador this folded because of lack of funds and he went on to work with the Duke Reid Sound. Upon splitting from Duke Reid in 1969 it was a natural choice to name his sound Sir Coxsone, in recognition of the Jamaican rivalry between Studio One and Treasure Isle.
Initially Sir Coxsone had a residency at the Roaring Twenties Club in London's West End - having I Roy as a resident deejay in the club 1973. He later moved to the Four Aces in Dalston, East London circa 1974. He was back at the Four Aces doing regular Sunday night sessions in 1979.
Coxsone was featured in the 70's BBC documentary Aquarius focusing on reggae where he spoke about the scene.
In April 1978 Sir Coxsone won the Best Sound System category in the first Black Echoes Reggae Awards.
In 1980 the sound travelled to Amsterdam, Holland and played two sessions. By this time the Sound featured Blackadread alongside Festus and Lloydie at the controls and MC's Levi Roots, Skeeroy and Bikey Dread.
n the mid 80's the sound kept it's position in the top flight by building a strong rosta of deejays including Tenor Fly, Bikey Dread and Daddy Freddie, Daddy Ip and singers like Levi Roots and Penfold.
Sir coxsone is still doing the business, nicing up the dance..
