MC Brady, Ras Dave and Big Hair are Dub Island Soundsystem. Hailing from Charleston, SC, school reggae and dancehall traditions. Criss-crossing the United States spreading love and respect, Dub Island is not what you expect.
Dub Island Soundsystem gives reggae an over-the-top, frenetic, slice-and-dice autopsy, leaving the body transformed yet renewed. Their mash-up style is the ideal synthesis of reggae music and electronica, and contains those moments that can only be described as "irie." Want ragga, carribean fusion, dancehall underground, drum n' bass, electronica - well, you get all that in one session. Overstanding Underground, their first full length features original songs over the most famous reggae rhythms of the past 5 years including, Coolie Dance, Red Alert, Diwali and Bad Company, to name a few. The first two tracks were voiced in Negril, Jamaica at Jah Freedom Studios with Full Hundred Soundsystem (Big up Landy!).
Through live appearances across the country, including their recent showcase at South by Southwest 2005 in Austin, TX, Dub Island Soundsystem is being propelled to the forefront of this cross-pollinating scene. Blurring the lines of what we hear and forcing audiences to broaden their horizons, heads get whipped into a frenzy and left wanting more.
