INFINITY16 is a Japanese reggae sound system project spearheaded by the enigmatic DJ and producer, Tela-C. Launched officially in 1994, INFINITY16 began as a mobile sound system, a concept derived from the Jamaican dancehall scene where large speaker setups and DJs would bring music to life at street parties. Through the years, INFINITY16 has grown into a hallmark of the Japanese reggae scene, crafting a unique blend of reggae rhythms with the various textures of contemporary music.

The outfit is known for collaborating with a wide range of artists, which is evident in their recent releases such as "TOKYO welcomez GOTCH," featuring vocalist Gotch of Asian Kung-Fu Generation, and "Bombo Claat welcomez J-REXXX," bringing on board dancehall artist J-REXXX. Their work, often titling tracks with the term "welcomez" before the name of a participating guest musician, denotes a warm inclusion of various artists into their musical fold, creating a diverse and vibrant soundscape. INFINITY16 continues to leave a substantial footprint in Japan's music scene, showcasing a commitment to the evolving genres of reggae and dancehall while expressing a deep respect for the roots of their sound.
