ABOUT DOUGY
Dougy moves between roots reggae and modern dancehall with quiet authority. The Franco-Australian vocalist has built his reputation steadily: early work with Backwash Band, solo releases Lifestyle and Still and Solid, and now a new collaboration with Baltimores, Rise.
The new album pairs him with Little Lion Sound’s bass-forward production. Lead single Move Forward was cut in Kingston with Eesah. Over 400 concerts across 14 countries have established his presence with recognition earned through craft.

ABOUT BALTIMORES
Marseille-based Baltimores treats dub as collaborative practice rather than solo pursuit. The French vocalist functions as a conduit, allowing producers and engineers to shape each release’s contours. His work with Massilia Hi-Fi on the Global Crisis project demonstrates this approach.
Recent collaboration with Dougy on Ride extends his network outward. Recognition builds through digital streams and selector circles, where process matters more than polish. He values participation over arrival.
