Roots Garden Sound System 

 

 

Around 1995, Manasseh Sound System morphed into Roots Garden Sound System to coincide with Roots Garden record label started by Nick Manasseh & Jon Jones. Although Nick Manasseh is a busy, busy man, his Roots Garden Sound System keeps it real with Jon Jones & a host of guest presenters.

Here's a Pure Studio One set with selector Daddy P & singjay Ruben da Silva live inna dance November 28, 2000.
