This 7″ vinyl, released in 2025 on FDC Records (Five Disciples Crew), features the “Blindness Riddim,” produced by Nantes-based producer Krone. The A-side, “Culture No Dead,” brings together veteran Jamaican deejay U Brown and Abso of the French collective Five Disciples Crew.
The record reflects a modern digital reggae style, combining deep basslines with traditional deejay toasting rooted in 1970s Jamaican sound system culture.
This release highlights the connection between foundation reggae artists and the contemporary European sound system scene, particularly in France.
U Brown (Huford Brown) is a Jamaican deejay who rose to prominence in the mid-1970s, heavily influenced by U-Roy. He is known for his work with producer Bunny Lee and is a key representative of the classic rub-a-dub era.
Abso is an MC and member of the Five Disciples Crew, a French sound system collective active since 2007 in the Maine-et-Loire region.
