Pharfar rules Denmark's reggae/dancehall music

Soeren Schou, aka Pharfar, is firmly established as Denmark's biggest reggae and dancehall producer, often being referred as to an innovative soul burning for reggae music.

After many years of producing music in the underground reggae scene, 2006 would see Pharfar receive public recognition for his efforts when he received multiple awards and among those a Danish Music Award for Producer of the Year.

The award was in honour of his platinum-selling album Bikstok Rogsystem, a group of which he was a member. Through several years, Pharfar was the primary producer for Denmark's now-deceased queen of dancehall Natasja.

Pharfar produced Natasja's Danish hit album I Denmark Er Jeg Fodt and on her English language album Shooting Star.

Pharfar has proudly presented the crop of reggae vocalists on Pharfar Presents, a Rub-A-Dub Sunday in Copenhagen. The album features some of the best artistes from Jamaica's roots reggae culture namely John Holt, Horace Andy, Mykal Rose, Junior Murvin, Echo Minott and many more.

The songs on the album were recorded both in various studios in Jamaica and at Pharfar's Copenhagen-based Food Palace Studio. Pharfar has since produced Denmark's biggest reggae-oriented artistes currently, in Shaka Loveless, Kaka and Wafande.

The multi-talented individual has also scored big in Denmark with his debut solo single La Mig Rule Dig, which was co-produced by Donkey Sound Label also from Denmark.

Pharfar and Donkey Sound's newest project is the 'Money Move' rhythm, which features Sizzla, Anthony B, Mykal Rose, Aidonia, Nico D, Admiral P and Danish artistes Kaka and Wafande.

The project is being marketed by Contractor's Marketing and was premiered recently on DJ Wayne's show on Irie FM.
