A bass heavy adventure in reggae & electro-dub.

The disc includes reggae luminaries such as Grammy Award winning Michael Rose, 80s Dancehall icons Sugar Minott & Pinchers, Godfather of Rocksteady Alton Ellis, super-producer and 70s hitmaker Linval Thompson, the voice that ushered in the digital King Jammy reggae sound of the mid-80s and one the most versioned reggae songs of all time by Wayne "Sleng Teng" Smith, Willi Williams whose "Armagideon Time" anthem still resonates with reggae fans 30 years later , U-Roy prodigy and one of today's most revered Toasters Ranking Joe, alongside local homegrown Canadian talents Raffa Dean, Ammoye and Kulcha Ites.

The album begins with Linval Thompson's opening plea of "Peace & Love" built strong with majestic horns and leads to the lightening-fast toasting of Ranking Joe on the appropriately titled Tornado. The cool and smooth groove of Easy Down features Black Uhuru's Michael Rose and launches into the explosive & thundering Burning Fire Dub. The condemnation of violence on Re-Action features Willi Williams brings us to the final and 16th track, the uptempo ragga/drum & bass song Push featuring one of Toronto's up-and-coming artists Ammoye.

Dubmatix is the solo musical project of Jesse King. Involved in music from his early childhood while on the road and in studios with musician and local Jazz-er father Bill King (whose own career spans 5 decades.) Bill King's roles have ranged from Musician, Arranger, Producer and Musical Director for some of music's most well known artists including Janis Joplin, Martha Reeves, Pointer Sisters and many more. In the early 70s - King was keyboardist with a local reggae group that included Everton "Pablo" Paul who immigrated from Jamaica to Toronto alongside one of reggae's most well-known writers, arrangers and keyboardists - Jackie Mittoo. It was this group and meeting with Paul that would define and shape the music that Dubmatix would produce years later. Paul provided the key to the city of dub by lending Dubmatix his first and life-shaping LP King Tubby meets Rockers Uptown in the 80s. Pablo "Everton" Paul is also one of the members of the late 60's reggae band "The Cougars" featuring Jay Douglas, Wayne McGhie, Jackie Mitoo - managed by the late Karl Mullings. These members appear on the Light In The Attic release "From Jamaica to Toronto" that stormed the retail and radio charts in 2006. In this small world of music - Dubmatix collaborated with Mullings’ daughter and 2008 Juno Award Nominee Tanya Mullings on her latest release "Music Is My Life".
