O.B.F x Iration Steppas - Live Dub Show
Two major references on the international dub scene join forces to rock the stage! O.B.F x Iration Steppas is the live show that brings together O.B.F, the most warrior and prolific dub producer in France, and Iration Steppas, the historic pillar of the UK soundsystem scene. A combination of mentor / disciple, vanguard / foundations, Modern / Old School, number one sound / number one sound that pushes dub to new heights!
This live set accompanies the “Revelation Time” album project: the joint LP by O.B.F and Iration Steppas, due for release on Dubquake Records on April 5, 2024. For this album, eagerly awaited by dubheads for the past ten years, O.B.F and Iration have put in countless hours in the studio and pushed back their limits. The album questions the future of the human race, the future of the planet.It features a wide selection of dizzying dub versions that blend avant garde 90s dub influences like Iration, future dub orientations like O.B.F. and much more.
Here, we're talking about uncompromising dub on tape, a dub composed without concessions, destined to be played with the same madness and intensity with which it was crafted in the studio. And that's exactly the plan: to bring the console on stage, put the effects racks and dub sirens in front of the audience, mix with four hands, pass the microphone through the echo and make it rain low frequencies. With the studio on stage, Rico O.B.F and Mark Iration on control, Dennis Rootical on bass and Mark Iration on vocals, it's a veritable dub dream team that mobilizes to deliver a unique live dub!

O.B.F Sound System All Night Long
Formed at the turn of the millennium by Rico, G and Stef, O.B.F (Original Bass Foundation) is a French sound system that has been active since 2002. From its beginnings in Geneva's alternative scene, the collective quickly established itself as a force to be reckoned with in the reggae/dub world.
Renowned for its unique, powerful dub, O.B.F. stands out as the avant-garde of the genre. Exploiting every existing channel to promote sound system culture, the bass from the iconic orange wall of sound resonates around the world.
One of the keys to O.B.F.'s success is the warm energy that emanates from the crew. Just take part in one of their sessions and you'll feel like part of the family.
The collective plays on all fronts: hyperactive label, founders of the famous Dubquake evenings organized at L'Usine in Geneva since 2006, a multitude of collaborations, including projects with Biga*Ranx, Mr. Williamz, Charlie P, Aza Lineage, L'Entourloop, to name but a few.The collective continues to promote their music through explosive sound system sessions, sparkling live shows and via Dubquake Records. Their rich catalog includes five albums to date: 'Wild' (2014), 'Ghetto Cycle' with Charlie P (2018), SIGNZ (2020), LAVA (2022), 'Revelation Time' with Iration Steppas (2024).
