Pharfar — Danish Reggae Producer

(Natasja, Djosos Krost, Cornstick, Karen Mukupa, etc.)

With more than a decade’s experience as a reggae producer, Pharfar is considered one of the very  best in his field. One highprofile artist he worked with was the late rapper and singer Natasja – most recently on the song “Better Than Dem”, which also features a guest appearance by Jamaican star Beenie Man. “A good producer gives the song the right packaging,” says Pharfar. “It’s all about letting the tune come into its own, about bringing out the strongest qualities in the music.” For several years, Pharfar has been the prime mover behind Rub A Dub, the popular Copenhagen dub and reggae Sunday club. Also a  capable drummer, Pharfar lives and works in his studio, the Food Palace, whose mixing desk has tackled  big names such as Horace Andy. He is currently working on a riddim series with international artists like Turbulens, Michael Rose (Black Uhuru) and Sizzla.
