Cool Sound Machine
Urban Reggae / IT
Band
The Cool Sound Machine project get’s to life in the November of 2004 with the idea to bring together some elements of the upbeat Milan scene to try to blend together a new kind of sound not properly known in Italy. The starting point was a lot of passion for Jamaican big classics but also an important influence for the actual German reggae school. Two different kinds of ways of interpreting music but both have the same roots. Roots that the Cool Sound Machine want to explore in a new sperimental directions. There’s the “Raggasteady-Sound” a new word coined to express the soul of the band: traditional caraibic and new Teutonic upbeat.
In January 2005 the Cool Sound Machine is known for the first time live with a good checking from the crowd. That’s the beginning of a series of concerts, radio plays and important participation to national festivals.
The demo, “An Example” was recorded in April 2005 and a tour in Salentina in southern Italy, was done in the August 2005, the location was picked because Italian reggae is very appreciated especially in those of Salento.
In 2006 Cool Sound Machine recorded two other tracks (‘It’s not over’ and ‘Mission of the youth’, become one of the most famous and representative songs of the band), spread its music in Italy and other countries and kept on increasing its popularity in the underground scene.
The male and female voices alternate to make the songs strong and aggressive but at the same time soft and sensual.
The songs of the Cool Sound Machine tell about a possible world where international politics and daily interaction is based on love and respect.
