Other general discussions like the article in Vogue for example, focus on the manifestation of this movement, exploring how the artists met each other and what led them to be where they are now, how they have changed their lifestyles etc. There is no visible discussion surrounding how the reggae revival has carried out some of its objectives and the changes that can be speculated as causing a kind of ripple effect in the sound system culture, performance standard and creative industries. With that being said, research for this paper largely depended on methods of primary research such as conducting interviews and being a witness/patron of events like Dub School, Dub Club, Dubwise, Vinyl Thursdays, Ancient Future Live, Live From The Capital and so on. The focus of this research will explore the roles that this movement has played in the source of demand for live band and artist performances, the deliberate collaboration between artists and creative bodies resulting in sub-sectors in the cultural/creative industry and the resurgence of prominence and changes of the sound system culture.
