Le son fait maison et Rocksteady vinyls selections

Safari Sound was founded in south Sweden in 2003 by a couple of reggae fans and record collectors who loved reggae music since they first discovered it during their early school days. Two of the three founding members left the sound leaving Shirkhan to carry on the Safari name. Shortly after the founding members left, Zoro joined the sound as Safari’s first MC. Zoro and Shirkhan played the sound together until Zoro decided to focus on his career as a recoding artist.

In late 2006 Sammy K joined the sound as an MC. Together he and Shirkhan began taking the sound to the next level. Safari quickly established their name as one of the major contributors to the music scene in Southern Sweden. Safari established their presence through their show on Swedish National Radio, regular mixtape releases and several weekly and monthly events.

In 2009 Safari Sound started doing guest mixes for Din Gata (a local radio station belonging to Swedish National Radio). These mixes were so popular the sound was offered a monthly radio slot on P3, the biggest radio station in Sweden, which is apart of Swedish National Radio. The popularity of the monthly program grew to the point that in 2011 Safari was offered a weekly spot on Musikguiden i P3 every Friday evening (in 2017 the day changed to Wednesdays in order to attract more traffic).

This placement made Safari’s show the biggest Reggae and Dancehall show in Scandinavia.

In 2011 Safari relocated from its birthplace Malmö to Stockholm. Some of the events that made the sound famous were also re-launched in Stockholm.

In 2014 Safari Sound started participating in soundclashes, two in Stockholm and one in Denmark.

In 2015 DJ Autograph, longtime colleague and friend, joined the sound. DJ Autograph was born and raised in Kingston Jamaica and moved to New York in the 90s. He worked behind the scenes until mid 2016 when his announcement as part of Safari was made official along with his move to Sweden.

2017 was the year Safari Sound dedicated themselves to releasing original music via their own label. This resulted in the formation of Safari Records in early 2018, together with Swedish producer Binnie Smalls. The first single (Pon Di DJ with Red Fox) was released early 2018 and was followed up by an official remix of Chronixx’s mega scorcher Likes. Look out for more releases from Safari Records in 2018.

Originality, quality and their ability to play for any type of crowd has gained Safari supporters both within Sweden and internationally. Safari has toured Europe, Japan, Gambia, The Middle East, USA and Jamaica, performing at festivals and clubs in the aforementioned places.

Safari Sound is known for playing the latest Reggae & Dancehall mixed with exclusive dubplates and remixes. These days you should expect the unexpected when you catch the sound jugglin’: from old school Rub A Dub Reggae to todays Hip-Hop and R&B to 90s Dancehall scorchers and todays dancehall anthems. One thing is certain, when you step into a Safari Sound party you’re guaranteed to be at every future Safari event.

Since more than a decade, RDV is strongly promoting Jamaican musics in France with various activities. They are always ready to play, anytime, anywhere, where it is a jugglin dance or a soundclash ! The sound is also often organising dubplates sessions and have shown support for many upcoming artists - some of them had their big break since then! 

Created in 2005 by Thias and Pec in Tours (center of France), the sound will be joined in 2007 by Tom. Two members then moved to Paris and started give more exposure to the sound in the French capital.

The Reggae History is wide, just as Ride De Vibes selections. Everything is played : Ska, Roots, Rub-a-dub, Digital, New roots, Dancehall... You can of course add to that Hip-hop, RnB, Afrobeat, Soca ...

They are nonethless huge hardcore dancehall fans, and that is the motivation behind their monthly event "Up Like Friday" in Paris, running since October 2016. The party quickly became the place to be for all dancehall addicts.

The sound is still active in Tours with Pec playing every month at the "Outlaw Parties" with "La Smalla Connection" crew.

Although the soundclash scene is not very developped in France, Ride De Vibes was part of some of the major french clashes of these last years : "Center Cup" (Tours, on 2007), "Time fi clash" (Lyon, on 2014) and "Is Paris burning?" (Paris, on 2015). 

RDV made their debut alongside African Héritage (Tours) and Panam Sound (Paris) , making their first big scenes and recording their first dubplates. Since then, they have gone a long way, playing everywhere in France and representing on the international scene (Switzerland, England, Jamaica...).

Every summer, RDV is showing up at the "Aucard Festival" in Tours and at the famous "Fête de L'Humanité" in Paris which gathers every year more than 500 000 people.

They also toured with several artists like Joseph Cotton, Cham, Spice, Brahim, Bazil ... Bazil is one of the artists the sound had supported over the years, just like Gappy Ranks from UK or jamaican artists Tiana, Charly Black, and Iba Mahr which first official mixtape was done. More recently, they focused on Jamaica newest female sensation Shensea.

This is Ride Di Vibes : always up to something new, as long it is good !
