Dubmatix-Champion Sounclash (2004)

Another new name to the Dub sound and a band that I have regularly championed on these boards and with good reason. Dubmatix are one of the new breed of self styled 'Electro Dub' artists that use turntables as well as live musicians to create an infectious mix of dub, hip hop and sweet grooves with Bossa and Club sounds.

The band who hail from Canada have slowly built up a cult following despite making infrequent sojourns overseas. Their use of huge basslines, horns and electric beats is a sound that I defy anyone not to end up enjoying if heard on a sound system. With appearances by Reggae stalwarts such as Freddie McGregor and remixes for Missy Elliott under their belt, Dubmatix are the new breed of 21st century Dub champions.

This is from their later release 'Atomic Subsonic' from 2006 as YouTube is unfortunately light on this great band.
