Heartical Sound

Probable

Contemporary French sound system and vinyl label led by selector Sergio, described by scene veterans as the country's leading clash sound. Known for rare dubplate combinations -- reportedly the first cut of a Yabby You plate, plus combinations pairing Shabba Ranks with Ken Boothe and Marcia Griffiths, and Alton Ellis with Bob Andy and Marcia Griffiths. Clashed Legal Shot Sound System at Dub Camp Festival in July 2023.
