about

“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!

Let’s get ready to rumbleee! O.B.F annonce la sortie proche d’un nouvel album et dévoile un premier single versatile qui nous plonge au coeur de la culture sound system et de la culture du clash. Avec ce tune, déjà élevé au rang de classique par les accros des sessions d’O.B.F, le sound le plus prolifique de la scène dub donne le ton du projet d’album à venir.

Solidement ancré sur un beat Four To The Floor « Chainsaw » mêle le chant et le toast modern style, le calme et la tempête, les flammes et la sueur. Sur le thème de l’affrontement musical, la chanteuse Argentine Belén Natalí et le MC Anglais Charlie P forment un duo jusqu’ici jamais entendu sur une release. Anglais, Espagnol, touches latines et UK vibes sur un dub made in France : le tune marie les langues, fusionne les influences et se définit comme résolument international.

Avec sa basse mode tronçonneuse, son kick qui cogne à s’en briser la nuque, ses drum traitées façon brutale et ses lyrics offensifs « Chainsaw » dépeint la compétition féroce qui s’exprime au coeur des sessions sound system. Pour illustrer le propos, le clip de TerralStudio met en scène le clash entre les deux MC et les deux teams de danseurs qui les accompagnent : une première team issue de la culture voguing face à une seconde issue de la scène dancehall. Une confrontation intense progressivement balayée par un engouement collectif pour le son, la danse et cette magie qui émane des session sound system!
