Hiroshi Fujiwara | Dub Conference | Album

Hiroshi Fujiwara in Dub Conference (1995) remains a pioneering work that uniquely bridges the worlds of electronic reggae and minimalist classical composition. Released on 21 June 1995 via Victor Entertainment, the album arrived just six months after Fujiwara’s highly acclaimed debut, Nothing Much Better to Do. Produced alongside Hirofumi Asamoto and featuring album art by Jean-Michel Basquiat, it has earned a legendary reputation among collectors as arguably the world's first true "piano ambient dub" album.

Hiroshi Fujiwara, one of Japan's first Hip Hop DJ's, features cover art by NYC based artist Jean-Michel Basquiat on his second album In Dub Conference. Basquiat was also quite active on the NYC underground music scene in the early 1980's.
