International Dub Ambassadors

About

International Dub Ambassadors aren't just purveyors of dub; they're sonic cartographers, charting a course through reggae's echo-laden landscape while picking up influences from across the globe. Formed in Miami, this collective breathes new life into the foundational sounds of Kingston, adding layers of electronic textures and global rhythms that resonate with a distinctly modern sensibility. Think Lee "Scratch" Perry meeting Massive Attack on a beach in Brazil. IDA’s sound is rooted in classic dub techniques – heavy basslines, spacious delays, and reverb-drenched instrumentation – but their explorations extend far beyond the traditional. Elements of Afrobeat, Latin percussion, and even hints of electronica subtly weave into the fabric of their music, creating a sound that's both familiar and refreshingly innovative. Early EPs laid the groundwork, but it was their consistent touring across the US and international festival appearances that cemented their reputation as a dynamic live act. IDA’s commitment to cultural fusion and pushing the boundaries of dub music has garnered them a dedicated following and critical acclaim. Notable collaborations with Jamaican vocalists and appearances alongside dub legends further solidify their position as key players in the global dub scene. Currently, the band is rumored to be working on a new album, promising to further expand their sonic palette and solidify their place as true ambassadors of dub for the 21st century.
