Disciples is Russ D. producer, musician, engineer on the uk reggae and dub scene since 1986. Originally Disciples were brothers Russ and Lol who produced music for legendary uk sound system man Jah Shaka, it was Shaka who gave us our name, we recorded 4 albums for Shaka from 87 -91. Russ later formed his own labels Boom Shacka Lacka and Backyard Movements, the former for uk dub styles, the latter for roots vocal styles. In 91 they built our own sound system which they ran for 5 years before packing away the boxes for good. Russ brother Lol pulled out of the music biz and Russ himself continued to forward his studio and productions as well as continued djing around the world with long time friend and micman Jonah Dan. Russ D. has worked with a number of artists over the years including Sister Rasheda, Rootsman & Dayjah, Delroy Dyer, Creation Stepper, Candyman, Wayne McArthur, Prince Allah, Prince Malachi, Mykal Rose, Color Red, Lutan Fyah, Ras Macbean, Christine Miller, Bunny Lie Lie, Danny Vibes, Tenastillin, Tony Roots, African Simba, Sis Nya Azania, Avaran, Murreyman and many more, as well as productions and remixes for the likes of Inner Sanctuary, Alpha & Omega, Jah Tubby`s, Twilight Circus, Cultural Warriors, Jah Warrior, Universal Roots, Roots Hytek, VI Connection and others, with something like 20 plus albums and over 60 singles released so far on his own and various labels. Works continue from strength to strength!!!
