Wicked Dub Division

About

Wicked Dub Division isn't just another dub act; they're architects of a sonic landscape where Jamaican rhythms meet Italian grit. Hailing from the fertile musical ground of Italy, this collective weaves a tapestry of deep, resonant dub underpinned by roots reggae traditions, infused with electronic flourishes and a distinctly European sensibility. Their sound, characterized by heavy basslines, hypnotic melodies, and the soulful vocals of Michela Grena, creates a compelling and often politically charged listening experience. Emerging in the early 2010s, Wicked Dub Division carved their niche through relentless touring and a steady stream of releases that showcased their evolving sound. Their collaboration with North East Ska Jazz Orchestra on "Mama" marked a significant turning point, broadening their appeal and demonstrating their willingness to experiment beyond traditional dub confines. The album "Dub Au Natural" further cemented their reputation, a testament to their organic and authentic approach. More than just musicians, Wicked Dub Division are cultural ambassadors, using their platform to address social issues and promote positive change. Their music speaks to a generation seeking substance and authenticity in an increasingly homogenized world. Continuing to push boundaries and challenge expectations, they remain a vital force in the global dub scene, consistently delivering performances that are both intellectually stimulating and deeply moving. Their recent work continues to explore themes of identity, justice, and the power of collective action, solidifying their position as more than just a band; they're a movement.
