About

From a London basement to the global dub stage, Alpha & Omega has been quietly and consistently crafting a spiritual sonic landscape for over three decades. The duo, John Sprosen and Christine Woodbridge, are pioneers of UK dub, weaving together heavyweight basslines, ethereal melodies, and conscious lyrics rooted in Rastafarian ideology. Their sound, a distinctive strain of roots reggae infused with digital production techniques, has resonated with generations of sound system culture enthusiasts. Alpha & Omega carved their niche in the late 1980s, initially self-releasing music on their A&O label. Their breakthrough came with consistent output throughout the 90s, solidifying their status as dub innovators. Beyond simply producing music, they have built a vast collaborative network, working with vocalists like Sister Aisha, Nishka, and Jonah Dan, enriching their already potent sound. Regularly touring the international sound system circuit, Alpha & Omega continue to spread their message of unity and spiritual awareness. Recently, they've been focusing on vinyl releases and live performances, maintaining their connection to the core roots of dub while subtly pushing its boundaries forward. They remain a vital force in the ongoing evolution of dub music.
