PASSA PRODUCTIONS
This August we proudly spotlight Passa Productions, the kings of soundsystems!
Founded in 2019 by a group of friends with exquisite taste in music and expertly trained ears for all things sound quality, these guys are the crème de la crème, something we know first hand after having the absolute pleasure of working with them back in 2023.
As official production partners of Notting Hill Carnival, they provide sound for some of your favourite sound-systems including Powis Square, Hornimans and the Judging Zone.
We caught up with these carnival veterans to get their guide to the world famous event, which befittingly, is the very origin story of how this production mega-house came to be.
