Formed in Sydney's Inner West, Kool Vibration combines a mix of roots, reggae, soca and all-round general island vibes.

The addition of sega and seggae riddims of frontman Ras Jamino's homeland of Mauritius, transports listeners to a different space, where life is carefree, relaxed and parties seem to never end. Audiences can't help but catch their contagious riddims as they sit back and relax or get down and boogie, forgetting about the daily grind.

Steve was mightily impressed when he watched them on the main stage at The Manly Wine & food Festival as they captivated a huge crowd.
