    Times of old

    STD

    Its what all the kids want this summer, and what the kids want the kids get, with the launch of S.V.S's latest creation the infamous Socially Transmitted Disorder. Boosting over a 1000w of power and built like a war torn tank its certainly not to be ignored.

    Check out the technique breakdown and building guide here.

    Wandsworth prison demo

    ''Around 50 people demanded justice for unfairly-convicted London rioters assembled at Wandsworth prison on a wet Sunday afternoon. The activists were told stories of people whose liberty was cut short by long and unfair judgements for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. The crowd chanted support for those imprisoned by the bankers and the rest of the ruling 1%.''

    we where there showing our support and getting wet...

    Hackney roof top defiance

    ''Anti eviction at work, squats saved by the people. Early friday morning, police and bailiffs turned up to evict a row of squatted houses in Dalston lane, but luckily the anti eviction squad was out, in numbers this time with over 60 people blocking the road and lining the rooftop. ''

    we where there showing our support and playing some light dub to lighten the mood.

    The growing movement of resistance (nothing to do with impedance)

    Just two weeks after the last squat resistance, SVS is called in to yet another early morning shenanigans, this time to help defend a squatted tea shop in hackney. The difference being that the owner was also in attendance and after an hour of arguing with a passer by, left with his tail between his legs, vowing revenge. After the bailiffs left (shame faced) the doors were flung open and tea and cake was enjoyed by all, to the funky sounds of contemporary rubba-dub. Yet another great turn out and a chance to air the newly repaired Nautilus sound system, now fitted with three class d amplifiers, and new horn section. marestreet image

    2 evictions 2 sound systems

    Bright and early Friday morning two squatted houses resisting eviction, 50 people turn up in solidarity, swaying back and forth in the chilli morning rain to a bit of dub, bailiffs come.... and then go, move onto the next house more banners more music but less rain, bailiffs come.... and then go, no one is made homeless today. The squatting law may be changing but squatters from far and wide travel to show their support. wellstreet image Bicycology's 'Pedals' also on the streets. Sounding lovely (those horns really kick), is that jealousy creeping in, possibly... overcome by an overwhelming sense of regret i didn't bring a bigger sound system. One you can really eat your breakfast off. pedals image

    Out of the squats onto the streets (and turn up the music)

    Sound Vs Systems was out in force, for this landmark demonstration that saw police attacking Critical Mass and then later, mass arrests of the 'sleep out' outside Parliament. The day before MP's voted on the crucial clause 26 amendment, that would effectually make squatting in residential property's illegal. Despite extreme police tactics and the eventual outcome [it got passed] everyone came away with fighting spirits and an increased sense of solidarity. nautilas image for more information check out http://www.squashcampaign.org

    12v Transistion

    We're off to Sipson, for another great 2day off grid event. Raving it up in the waste lands of west London, overshadowed by airport and a chance to sound clashing a Bowing 747. Armed with Jericho and Nautilus in tow, not forgetting a big pile of batteries, i just hope it don't rain.

    The Perambulator : a stealth system concept

    Having children used to end your life, but not anymore. Shacking out in 'mother care' has never been easier. Rock up, tip it up, n bruck out.

    {the walls of} Jericho

    The concept is simple, a 12v modular stack, loud enough to run party's off, and all active modular units for when you don't want to lug it all [trust me it weighs enough]. At the moment its around 2kw and we plan to double that by the end of the year. A serious 12v system. Drains batteries and comes with a health warning.

    Nautilus, rises from the deep

    Fresh off the production line, nautilus is here, a micro binary system, we've being working on designs optimize size and weight vs the power ratio. Nautilus is the first. it comprises of 2 active units, a 400 watt full range and a micro scoop, built out of a light grade ply, so it weight very little, plus its powered by 2 class d amps so its both battery friendly and packs a mean punch.

    Pedals is off, loud and kicking

    P.E.D.A.L. is a group of food growers, artists, community organizers, cyclists, campaigners and journalists, planning to cycle from London to Palestine in 100 days in Spring 2011.

    pedal image We made them a special device for their travels, the brief was simple, light, loud and tough.

    te image

    This is the second design we built for them, and we think it ticks the boxes, we stress tested the hell out of it, repeatedly chucking it down stairs and putting the boot in 'check'. Its equipped with a 400 watt class d amp so you know it'll brings the beef 'check' 'check'. Check out the schismatics on the cataloger page as well as following P.E.D.A.L's adventures on their website. te image
