Dub Night 2

Performance in Tracing the Dub Diaspora Series

Warming up Rooms Coffee at 915 Dupont, DJ/Selectors Patrick Roots and Selectress Sunshine spin their collection of dub plates, and b-sides. What better way to spend a Sunday evening…

From Selectress: I will be playing a selection of Dub, along with the B Sides aka the dubs, or dub sides of several Reggae records spanning a few decades, inspired by, and to complement Edward George’s radio show ‘The Strangeness Of Dub’.
