About DoobieSound

Joel Eriksson - better known as Doobie - was born in 1983 in Uppsala, the reggae capital of Scandinavia. The Uppsala Reggae Festival is the biggest yearly reggae event in Scandinavia, and many reggae artists, musicians and sound systems are based in this Swedish city. Inspired by the festival and the modern roots recordings of artists like Lutan Fyah, Jah Mason and Capleton, Doobie started making reggae rhythms on his computer in 2005. The absolute majority of Doobie's productions are strictly digital, but most of his rhythms still have a 70s or early 80s feel. His is 00s music, but it is firmly rooted in the classic reggae sound. With the help of the internet - especially sites like Reggae Dubwise and MySpace - Doobie has met and worked with countless reggae artists. A number of these collaborations were featured on 'All Kinda Wall', Doobie's debut album released by Dubkey in October 2009. The rhythms from the album were released as 'All Kinda Riddims' in January 2010.
