BDF - Basque Dub Foundation started in the early 90s as studio project by Iñaki Yarritu ( aka Inyaki ), a London based reggae musician originally from the Basque Country (northern Spain). Iñaki moved into music production in the late 80's having been previously involved in Reggae since the late 70s as a radio DJ, journalist and promoter.
In their early days BDF toured (as a sound system) supporting Mad Professor in the first ever Dub sessions to take place in Spain.
In 1997 BDF released their debut album "Sustraidun Roots Dub" ( Massive Sounds - 1997) ("Sustraidun" is Basque for "Rootical") the first Dub album ever to come out of Spain. A landmark that started to give BDF an international reputation...
BDF's debut album is a collection of instrumental and dub workouts featuring a mix of original material, and some Roots classics covers, such as Abyssinians' "Satta Amassagana
