Apache Sound is an allround regge soundsystem from The Hague area (The Netherlands). In early 2004, Mr Rough Apache, MC Nes One and selector Big Lion decided to start their own soundsystem. Inspired by many artists, sounds, and the reggae soundsystem movement, they initiated Apache Sound and promised to remain loyal to the red, gold and green sounds. The name ‘Apache Sound’ was coined by Nes One in the 90′s. Apache Sound has specialized in presenting the diversity of styles within reggae music. Roots reggae, ragga, rub-a-dub, vintage, ska and dancehall tunes are mixed together according to the tradition of the Jamaican style sound. This all happens in a soundsystem setting: a Disc Jockey accompanied by a Microphone Chanter.
