PROMOTING their highly acclaimed fourth album 'Addis To Omega', Dub Colossus are appearing in Kendal with their five-piece 'Soundsystem' line up.
Featuring the vocal talents of PJ Higgins and Mykaell S Riley, their sound ranges from Ethio-Jazz to full on funky grooves with a little Afrobeat thrown in for good measure, all thrown into the blender, yet loving put back together on a solid foundation of Dub.
Dub Colossus is the vision of Dubulah - aka Nick Page. Composer, guitarist, bass player, producer and programmer Nick has worked with a long list of notable artists and eccentrics.
In 1990 he formed Trans-Global Underground with Tim Whelan and Hammid Man-Tu, with whom he produced-wrote-played six albums before leaving in 1997 to form Temple of Sound.
Once Temple of Sound had run its course, Nick then decided to concentrate on his favourite alter ego, Dub Colossus.
'Addis To Omega' takes the project further into explorations of the UK/Jamaican musical heritage, with a little sidestep into other avenues along the way.
Dub Colossus perform at Kendal’s Brewery Arts Centre on February 27.
