SXSW 2005 Showcasing Artists

Dub Island Soundsystem
Chances are you’ve never heard a white kid from the Midwest sing Jamaican Dancehall like Brady. Guaranteed you’ve never heard it over rhythms produced and manipulated live from keyboards and laptops by a white Rastafarian named Dave. Brady, Ras Dave, and Big Hair the engineer are Dub Island Soundsystem.

Dub Island Soundsystem is all about bringing together alot of styles - think of 'em as kind of a Danger Mouse of dancehall. When they mash-up the spot riddims get sliced and diced - wicked!!!

"The bass, the breaks, the one drop...this is junglism dancehall for the year 2k5. Dub Island: No Other Sound Like It."
- DJ Liondub

"Visionary electronic reggae firepower, Dub Island Soundsystem may just reinvent the live dub and dancehall experience.."
- Ming & FS
