the Jafa Mafia
The Jafa Mafia is an Auckland sound system established in 2003 by DJs Tobi and Captain Midnite.
From their 95bfm.co.nz radio show Thunder & Joy the pair found a shared passion for ‘proper’ bashment reggae and mad dancehall.
Tobi is NZ born and London raised, originates from the London free party/rave and nightclub scene having played most contemporary genres of dance music now focusing on dancehall, dubstep/grime and jungle.
Selector Midnite hails from Hungary and developed his love of Jamaican music whilst living in Rome checking One Love HP weekly.
The Mafia includes Flowzion and Tuff Enchant taking up the mic.
Having warmed up last year alongside Kyabamba Sound (Swiss) and Worries Outernational Sound (Ireland), the Jafas are ready to test the mighty Firehouse inna proper clash fashion.

Many Thanks & Much Praise.(So you come to college to get some musical knowledge.) Firehouse seem keen to educate, Mafia more focused on entertaining(both succeeding). Hardest thing in a dance is to strike the balance.Firehouse building on solid foundation,you’ll reach your ‘ites.Decades worth of top dancehall tunes, a real treat for the culture-vulture.Keep the faith.
