Dubmatix
Dubmatix Soundsystem are one of Canada's premier reggae / dub / DnB soundsystems. Performing as a duo with live production, on-the-fly mixing and live bass and/or with guest vocalists, Dubmatix have been tried and tested successfully with other reggae heavy weights such as Freddie McGreggor, Anthony B, Ranking Joe, Linval Thompson and more. In 2007 brought them to Europe for 3 tours and one mini-tour in Western Canada playing to thousands of fans.
Swirling echoes reverberate in the background, striking paranoia and wonder into lovers of reggae all over. This is dub and roots in the classic rockers tradition, with sultry melodies and praises to Jah almighty overriding a crackling, bass-heavy groove. The goal has been to maintain close ties to the classic and legendary sounds heard in 70s roots and dub while incorporating new technologies and styles. Fusing these sounds has opened up points of exploration into almost any musical style while maintaining the foundation set by classic dub.
