«I-TREES» the Bulldozer Sound !!

I-Trees Sound, aka the Bulldozer sound, is a 2004 born project. Francesco «Baje», Dimitri «Prepio» and Michele «Al Maiky» founded it, living and playing in Bergamo and Bologna. After learning the teachings of the godfather Quickly Burnin’ (one of the first sound systems in Bergamo), these three reggae-addicted guys started to play music wherever was possible, building a characteristic and typical style (wellknown today as the “bulldozer style”) made of danceable selections, burning speech and various influencences coming from different musical genres close to the reggae.
The tiny and glorious Caffè Morzenti and the Pacì Paciana squat, in Bergamo, were the main I-Trees yards for the first three years. Then, the Sound started to play all around Northern Italy making the fire burn all over the country (Rainbow Club, Blanco Cafè and Live Club, Cantiere, Leoncavallo, Pergola and Fornace squats in Milan; Murazzi and Muretto squats in Turin; TDN squat, Balla coi Cinghiali festival, Multedo beach in Liguria region; Sottotetto club, Sotto il Ponte di Via Libia, Crash and XM24 squats in Bologna are only a few of the yards that I-Trees were used to burn).
The experience of the sound and the quality of the selections were growing, as well as the dubplates collection, and the Sound enlarged with new soundboys (with the cooperation of Emanuel «White Lion»). Thus, the I-Trees Sound started to participate to the first reggae sound clashes, confronting with different massives and sounds and testing its power. The first sound clash cups arrived after the «BG clash 2008» in Bergamo, «Mezzanotte di fuoco» and «45 shootout 2008 and 2009» in Milan.
While the sound of the I-Trees was expanding all over Italy, another project called Bergamoreggae Crew was growing with the help of the I-Trees Sound. Bergamoreggae is a cultural association aiming at organize and promote festivals and concerts, bringing reggae music and international artists to the local scale of the province of Bergamo (in the first four editions of the «Bergaamoreggae Sunfest» have been invited Mr Vegas, Etana, Bitty McLean, Inner Circle, Romain Virgo, Derrick Morgan, Ward 21, Dawn Penn, Sentinel).
The production of new remixes and the cooperation with emerging singers and mcs leaded to the creation of the “Can-I-B.I.S. records”, an indipendent label founded with Bonnot (Assalti Frontali, AP2P) and Shanty Sound (Bergamoreggae) aiming at create original music (as the THC riddim, famous for the versions of Ward 21, General Levy and the Italian singer Jr Sprea) . Four volums of the «Daga det mixtape», in a pure I-Trees style, have been produced as well.
In the following years, the Sound enlarged more and more including the new mc Dario «Mighty T», Federico «Rootsman» and the young Sem. I-Trees won 3 dubplate sound clashes at a national level during 2012: the Va-fun clash 2k12″ against T-I sound (Switzerland) and the two fases of the «Brand new soundkilla cup clash 2k12», which was a sound clash tournament involving 12 sounds coming from all over Italy. So, I-Trees Sound awarded the title of new Italian soundkiller. During the first months of 2014 I-Trees Sound celebrated its first 10-years birthday with a party in its new yard in Bergamo, the Ink Club. Then, in the same year, the Sound went back to arena winning the first edition of the “Fight Club Soundclash” in Modena against Banpay crew, outta Florence.
The Sound keeps on growing with new soundboys as Giuseppe Giuppi (from Solid State sound) and Otello Towelie (from Rome). “Always keepin’ dem growin’”.
