Nathan Skyers, one of the under-recorded roots vocalists in Jamaica, lent his voice to recordings for Dennis Brown, Channel One, Mandingo, and others. In the late '90s, he was still recording tunes, including tracks for Coxsone Dodd. During this period, he established the Family House label in collaboration with Richard Brown. Together they released several singles including Salute To The Heroes, Nuh Bread Can't Bake and Prisoner Of Love. He also released two LPs, Dem A Fight I (1983) and a self-titled LP (1987). In addition to his solo career, Nathan Skyers was a member of The Silvertones. He sadly passed away due to complications from a short illness. Our sincere condolences to his family and friends.

The crew behind this Swiss record label is making and promoting Jamaican music since 2015. Mostly collaborating with Jamaican artists, they've released some noteworthy material in the past five years including albums by Oku Onuora, I Kong, The I-Twins, Micah Shemaiah and The Inspirators, and singles from Kumar, Time Unlimited, Samory I, Keith & Tex, Cornell Campbell and The Viceroys. While Swiss watches are the standard for excellence, one can easily say the same about releases coming from Fruits Records. The 18th Parallel The label's latest release features Jamaican veterans The Silvertones and the popular dancehall reggae deejay with the deep, gruff voice, Burro Banton, who deliver their goods across a fresh original rub-a-dub riddim laid by Fruits Records’ studio band The 18th Parallel. The latter comprises Antonin Chatelain (drums), Stuf Addis (bass), Mathias Liengme (piano, moog, percussion), Léo Marin (rhythm guitar), Alexandre Schneiter (trumpet), and Anthony Dietrich Buclin (trombone).
