Born in Geneva, Switzerland and long time member of the O.B.F Sound System’s DUBQUAKE family, Mother Dubber has been digging records since 2001 and considers her vinyl collection an anthropological archive. Her aim is to find parallels between the great precolonial African traditions and the postcolonial expressions of the diaspora –– starting from the West-African disco records inherited from her father, to the contemporary electronic music productions that dominated her childhood. A strong universal struggle and alliance can be heard through her musical curation; focusing on a particular era or region with every set. She however has a particular affinity and obsession with the 88-92 era, a period of true sonic innovation, which she ultimately attributes to the technological harmony of that period. According to her, the tools available during this time were both dialectically and simultaneously primitive and sophisticated enough to have enabled a futuristic sound, still interacting in close proximity to human intuition.
