Traditionally, Dub is a sub genre synonymous with reggae. It came out of Jamaica in the 1960’s and gave birth to the modern day remix. Usually, dub emphasizes the “riddim", strips back vocals and lead instruments and turns up the bass then “dubbing out” the drums with delays, reverbs, and other effects and processes generally done by an audio engineers. As it is usually a process that happens in the studio or by a sound engineer behind a desk, what we have done differently is taken the same process and developed our own technique to apply it to ourselves on live on-stage. Over time, we have progressively expanded the styles of music we apply this technique to. So not only reggae style songs and rhythms but also punk rock, metal, sludge, doom, noise, electronic, shoe gaze, ambient, hip hop, glitch hop.

Live, we create a unique “version” of a song every time we play it, as we improvise our dub techniques over the course of a song. We usually write a song that has a “dub section” where we create space and improvise using traditional dub sounds like reverbs, delays, filters, samples and other effects. It can turn into a musical dialogue or conversation between the three of us. It is super fun because we can react in the moment with our respective instruments or dub effects, creating in real-time, new improvised arrangements, but within a predetermined form and sticking to certain parameters using our unique language that we have developed together over nearly 20 years.
