O.B.F Sound System

Launched at the start of the millennium by Rico, G and Stef, O.B.F (Original Bass Foundation) are a French sound system active since 2002. From their humble beginnings in Geneva’s underground alternative scene, the collective quickly ascended to become a prominent presence in the reggae and dub music scene.

Renowned for its pioneering and versatile sound, O.B.F stands out as the epitome of dub music innovation within the hexagon. Leveraging every available avenue to promote sound system culture, the collective has ingrained itself to such an extent that every dedicated dub enthusiast is familiar with the iconic orange wall of sound.

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. The collective play on all fronts: hyperactive label, spearheads of the notorious Dubquake nights held at Geneva’s ‘L’Usine’ since 2006, a multitude of collaborations incl. projects with Biga*Ranx Nazamba Sr. Wilson Mr. Williamz Charlie P Pupajim to cite a few.

The collective continue to promote forward thinking reggae & dub through their explosive stage shows, highly anticipated sound system sessions and through Dubquake Records.
