himself. Each 12” vinyl platter includes three tracks: a version with

George Scott aka Nazamba, who died from heart attack on July 1, 2022.After the release of the Curfew 12″ single, there’s the second EP of this collaborative series: a fresh version of Sensimelia
by a young Barrington Levy. It’s a true anthem recorded in the early
’80s at the legendary Channel One studios, backed by the Roots Radics
and mixed by Scientist. The tune was first released on 1982 album Poorman Style, which was released by Trojan Records in the UK and Clocktower Records in the US.On The Herbs
Rico O.B.F’s late musical accomplice Nazamba, whose vocals were

his heartfelt verses. An ode to the cannabis flower and its therapeutic
virtues, the ‘Sweet Sensimilia’. The flip side features Rico O.B.F’s dub
version called Green Dub. The vinyl will be dispatched around
12th september 2022, so at the moment this release is only available on

O.B.F., Charlie P, Belén Natalí – Chainsaw (12'')
16,90 €*
“Let's get ready to rumbleee!” O.B.F’s latest album is just around the
corner; unleashing their incendiary first single “Chainsaw”. A track
born straight from the womb of sound system and clash culture. Already
rated as a future classic by dubplate connaisseurs, the track sets the
tone for what to expect from the most forward thinking dub outfit on
their next LP.
Built around a powerful 4-4 beat, "Chainsaw" combines lush vocals and
modern style toasting, warm textures and rough soundscapes, flames,
sweat and an unchained quantity of bass. Built by Rico O.B.F in France,
sang by Charlie P the "Dub Controller" from the UK and Argentina’s very
own "Woman Soldier" Belén Natalí, on their first time collaboration. The
rattling bass, neck-breaking kick, brutally processed drums and
captivating lyrics in English and Spanish testify to O.B.F’s
international appeal, brilliant versatility and desire to explore new
sonic territories.
"Chainsaw" illustrates the fierce competition and vitality that sits at
the core of sound system sessions. A clash between the two MCs and two
teams of dancers gets depicted in the explosive music video by
TerralStudios: Bélen and her team of divine voguers face off with
Charlie P and his bloodthirsty skankers. An intense confrontation takes
place, gradually getting swept away by a collective infatuation for the
music, unity takes hold of the dance, the very magic that emanates from
sound system!
