Band Members: In the beginning of the 3rd millenium, as everyday saw the rise & fall of a new musical trend, it appeared as an evidence to Nic Coptic & Jericho I, founders of this sound, that the Coptic's mission was rather all about forwarding the tradition to the new generation. The former years were mainly spent in maintaining regular radio shows and as it became more & more clear that the vision carried by reggae music had a big part to play in their life, the following step was reached in 2002 with their 1st sessions in the Lille area. At that time, Jericho I came with the conviction that the possibilities offered by digitally generated music could be of a great help to produce their own type of thing with limited means. Quickly, he proved to be right and his skill and ability to use the computer established himself as one of the driving force behind the Coptic Sound. A testimony of that period can be heard on the "Dub Shoe" and "Best of Dub Flash" compilations. Their further introduction into the scene led them to play alonside reknowed UK sounds like the ones of Jah Free, Channel One, Aba Shanti, Inspirational Sound... In 2005, they also teamed up with several other local soundmen to launch the CommunitySoundAssociation http://www.myspace.com/communitysoundsystemassociation, running a unique 4 ways system, intending to give their sound a new dimension, which brought them the opportunity to invite guests singers such as Lyrical Benjie or I Natural. In addition, beside the roots'n'culture circuit, they have always felt it to be important to have their work also delivered inside larger territories, confronting it to various audiences by playing in festivals such as Dour (B.) or Furia Sound (Cergy) +++ Currently featured on a few top international sounds, look for their 1st vocal tunes to be released early 08. More infos about this to come soon on http://www.myspace.com/obeahhifisoundsystem or also http://www.myspace.com/livicationsound +++ Fresh news from the front : Coptic now monthly resident sound at le Sonic, new club in our hometown, look for more meetings with the french dub family to be announced here or on their own page : http://www.myspace.com/soniclille. +++ A massive shout to the whole roots community worlwide, from the elders who've paved the way to the youths who follow the path and keep up the works.
