Sting like a bee history:
After collecting reggae records and doing mixes for some years Sheah decided to found a Jamaica-inspired Sound in August 2003. He was fascinated by the energy and the unique style delivered by Jamaican Soundsystems like Killamanjaro or Stone Love.
Coming from the hip hop scene originally he decided to focus mainly on Reggae and Dancehall music. It was on a trip to Jamaica in 2003 when the idea of a own Sound came true.
Feb joined Sting like a bee as a selecta only weeks later.
In 2003 Sting like a bee used to perform on private parties and school dances. It was around December 2003 when Nick, a long time schoolmate and friend of Sheah, also decided to become a full member of the sound. By that time he took on the MC job so Sheah could concentrate on selecting and operating.
In early 2004, as the record selection grew and first dubplates were recorded, Sting like a bee started playing on public occasions. Most of those early dances were held at Pforzheim’s Neuland, a reggae flavoured club owned by a member of the fellow sound Soul Jah Tribe.
It didn’t take long til the Sting like a bee crew’s performances drew the attention of other sounds. Some dances outside Pforzheim started the ongoing process of establishing the sounds name nationwide.
2005 was much more of a busy year for the sound with bookings leading Sting like a bee to bigger cities like Stuttgart, Karlsruhe and Mannheim, while still playing at Pforzheim’s Neuland on the regular.
Until today the selection and dubplatebox of the sound is growing rapidly. Additionally Sting like a bee was very happy to welcome a fourth member in 2006. Selector Steve , who is very supportive with his selecting skills and his experience, decided to join the Crew.
Sting like a bee continues to play Reggae music for the people both in their hometown and in other cities…
