The Dubby Conquerors

About

Few acts have so successfully weaponized echo and delay like The Dubby Conquerors, the Swiss sound system architects who’ve spent years bending the boundaries of dub, reggae, and electronica. More than just a band, they're a sonic collective, crafting immersive soundscapes where reverberating basslines collide with psychedelic textures and hypnotic rhythms. Their music is a journey – a deep dive into the sonic possibilities of studio effects as instruments in their own right. Drawing inspiration from classic dub pioneers like King Tubby and Lee "Scratch" Perry, The Dubby Conquerors aren't content to merely replicate. They inject their sound with a distinctly modern sensibility, incorporating elements of drum and bass, techno, and even hints of experimental electronic music. This willingness to experiment has led to collaborations with a diverse range of artists, cementing their reputation as genre-bending innovators. From their early releases on DCQ Records to their increasingly ambitious live performances – often featuring extended improvisational segments and dazzling visual displays – The Dubby Conquerors have cultivated a dedicated following. They've consistently pushed the envelope, showcasing the power of dub as a living, breathing art form. Currently, they're rumored to be working on a new album that promises to further expand their sonic palette, suggesting that the echo chamber of The Dubby Conquerors is far from silent.
