    KULCHA and RTRFM present the third in the CLUB SOUNDTRACK series. Head upstairs, watch a film, then get down to the sounds of RTRFM's DJ Elite.

    Musically Mad is the story of the people pushing reggae to the masses.

    Jah wisdom sound System features DJ General Justice (presenter of Australia's longest running reggae show, RTRFM's Jamdown), Misstickle and Jeeb Buju, dropping the crispest reggae and dub beats and the hardest yardcore dancehall and R&B in true sound system style
