About the system…
In the hand-crafted fashion of the analog days, Grand Ancestor has assembled the only high-fidelity sound system of its kind for the modern listeners of Washington, D.C. Grand Ancestor is inspired by the community-centric traditions of the early-Jamaican and British sound system scenes, later influenced by the underground hip-hop and electronic cultures that captured the globe in the years to follow. Grand Ancestor Sound System is a wooden, custom-built, high-fidelity, mobile, 18-cabinet sound station with enough power for a ranger. Rooted and grounded in the District, Grand Ancestor Sound System is an active medium for the growth and diversity of the local underground music scene.
“... judging by the physical reactions it causes: sound waves vibrate your sternum and collarbone, hairs on your arms stand straight up and the bass rumbles all the way to the end of your GI tract...
...It is a visceral experience...
