Groupe allemand de Dresde, formé en 2005. Sept musiciens, avec une section de cuivres particulièrement présente : deux trombones et un saxophone. Leur musique est très inspirée du son jamaïcain des années 60-70, avec une bonne dose de Northern Soul. Ils ont notamment accompagné le chanteur jamaïcain Winston Francis sur scène
