Биография

O.B.F (Original Bass Foundation) are a French dub and reggae sound system based on the outskirts of Geneva. The crew, made up of producer & selector Rico, operator G and manager Stef promote forward thinking dub music. Heavily influenced by Jamaican reggae, 90s UK dub and contemporary urban music, O.B.F’s sound is distinctive and versatile. They started off as an underground sound system playing at Genevan squat parties. The unique sound of Rico’s productions rapidly gained hype within the dub community and in 2006 O.B.F started hosting their own nights at "L’Usine", well respected venue in Geneva. Since then, their reputable "Dubquake" nights have become a true institution in the European night scene. The interest around the sound system has grown exponentially ever since. One of the keys to O.B.F’s success is the unparalleled energy that emanates from the whole crew. You only need to take part in one of their sessions to start feeling part of the family. This ability to bring people together can be seen in the list of artists they have worked with over the years: Sr. Wilson, Linval Thompson, Killa P , Belén Natalí, Pupajim, Charlie P, Biga*Ranx , Nazamba... In 2014, O.B.F launched their own imprint "Dubquake Records", an independent record label focused on promoting future dub and reggae. With now over fifty releases including O.B.F's three stand out albums Wild (2014) & SIGNZ (2020), LAVA (2022).
