Dub Gabriel

Dub Gabriel has been pushing the boundaries of the New
York dub/electronic scene for over 10 years. Coming up
as a musician/producer/DJ/promoter in Brooklyn in the
mid 90’s, his musical explorations led him to the anarchic
fringes of the downtown NY scene and the guerilla-electro-mysticism
of The Baraka Foundation. Drinking deep
from this dangerous brew of unyielding creativity, DG
pushed out into space and our world have never been
the same since.

His legendary underground Brooklyn
Massive parties kicked-off in the late 90’s and
continue to take people by storm. Artists that have
held it down with DG include Mussafir,
Jamalski, Umar Bin Hassan, Dr. Israel, Badawi, Mutamassik,
DJ Olive, Qaballah Steppers, and many others. To say that his aesthetic
is diverse is an understatement but one common thread
that persists is his relentless pursuit of the bass.
DG continues to build on this legacy in everything he
does – whether it’s pushing the boundaries of his
original music, remixing other projects or playing out
live. Touring regularly all over Europe and recently
headlining a series of shows in Beijing, China, DG
continues to build up a loyal and eclectic worldwide
cult following that counts many revolutionaries,
mystics, musicians and celebrities in its ranks.

On the recording front, DG dropped his first full
length, Ascend (Baboon Records) in ‘03 and followed it
up with the low-end assault of Bass Jihad (Azra) in
‘05. Bass Jihad spent over two months on CMJ’s Charts,
achieved international critical acclaim from
publications including Billboard (who compared him to
Brian Eno!), Interview, XLR8R, Village Voice, LA
Weekly, New York Times, SF Weekly, Resonance and
Paste, and ended up on several influential
best-of-the-year lists. The word is definitely out and
he is gaining much demand as a remixer having
reinterpreted tracks for Balkan Beat Box (Crammed/J
Dub), Raiz (Universal, Italy), Tigarah (Universal,
Japan) and many others.

2006 found DG in Berlin where he
immersed himself in the incredible wealth of
underground electronic music the city has to offer and
laid down the foundation for what is now his new
album, Anarchy & Alchemy. Returning to the US in 2007
to complete the album, he brought together an
incredible crew of international guests and
collaborators that include Michael Stipe (REM), Dr.
Israel (Praxis, Method of Defiance), Yo Majesty
(Domino Records), 77Klash, Jah Dan, Juakali (Pinch/Dub
War), Maga Bo, Oz Fritz (Tom Waits/Bill Laswell),
Scotty Hard (Wu-Tang), Mark Pistel (Meat Beat
Manifesto/Tino Corp), Sami Yaffa (New York Dolls), Mee
(Asian Dub Foundation/Smashing Pumpkins), No
Surrender, Kiva, Judith Juillerat, Karen Gibson Roc,
Other Weapons, Kali Boom, She Rah, D.R. Mafia and The
San Francisco Revolutionary Orchestra Dub Gabriel is
on a mission - Anarchy & Alchemy is his message.
