King Dragon

Probable

Paris sound system of the 1990s continental dancehall and reggae scene, led by selector Zeljko, remembered by scene veterans as an early and unusually prolific cutter of dubplates in continental Europe -- among the first to do so at all. Accounts describe the sound defeating Black Scorpio at an all-night Paris clash and holding its ground against the UK's Saxon Sound and a Jammy's-affiliated team, before a defeat to David Rodigan later in the decade. Zeljko no longer performs.
