Mixed by Umberto Echo
The dynamic Swiss sound engineers combine Jamaican flair with psychedelic electro sounds.
The Swiss duo's next work, "Synchronos" (Echo Beach), will be released in fall 2025 and will be performed LIVE IN SURROUND in selected clubs together with Munich-based mixing master Umberto Echo.
In this ecstatic live performance, the electronic dub tracks meet the spectacular possibilities of surround sound and Umberto Echo's dub mix skills, which are already legendary in stereo. Fans of danceable dub, trance, and organic techno music can look forward to an absolutely extraordinary sound experience that is not to be missed.
When it comes to versatility, there is hardly a band that can hold a candle to Dub Spencer & Trance Hill.
The quartet, founded 20 years ago, draws inspiration from various genres – we find the sound aesthetics of spaghetti westerns and guitar music from The Clash in their sound, as well as borrowings from Founded 20 years ago, the quartet draws inspiration from various genres – the sound aesthetics of spaghetti westerns and the guitar music of The Clash are just as much a part of their sound as references to ancient Rome or the drug-soaked lyrics of beat writer William S. Burroughs.
This ever-expanding sound cosmos is also reflected in their current and now twelfth album, "Imago Cells," which is significantly dedicated to
metamorphosis. And this (in keeping with the band's name) transforms the dubby sound into a psychedelic-technoid creature: half reggae, half trance, so to speak. At times it feels like the early hours of the morning in the oriental-decorated chai tent of a Goa party, then again the quartet takes us to a smoky underground club somewhere in an abandoned industrial quarter.
Masi Stalder on bass, guitarist Markus Meier, and Julian Dillier on drums provide the organic component with their instruments, while Philipp Greter diligently tweaks the synthesizers and effects. The sound is danceable without exception,
and they have long since proven that they are among the best dub performers in Europe with more than 400 performances to their name!
The event is a collaboration between KOHI and jubez Karlsruhe!
