"Canadian producer, Dubmatix, creates some of the
freshest reggae around"
(Dermot Hussey XM Radio "The Joint")
Music runs deep within the veins as does the various musical styles Dubmatix brings to his fresh,
distinctive productions - from pure, old-school King Tubby dub to the freshest electro-shock to classic conscious
roots to Drum'n'Bass and more. Growing up, Dubmatix
spent countless hours recording first on a 4-track reel-to-reel tape
machine and later, one of the first 12-track digital home studio’s of the 80s.
Recording rock, blues, acid, reggae and more – Dubmatix honed his musical skills for writing, arranging and
recording. A multi-instrumentalist, Dubmatix performs all instruments on
each release that include Drums, Guitar, Bass, Piano/Keyboard, Melodica,
Percussion.
Dubmatix brings these years of experimentation and learning to his
current productions – whether it is his own material or outside projects. Dubmatix has developed a unique
signature sound and style that is immediately recognizable – a Phil
Spector-esque full sound utilizing wide, fat bass, majestic horn lines,
thick-set percussive grooves, and strong production values. In fact, it is this unique style and sound
that has artists and bands requesting mixing, remix and producing services to
bring that distinct flavor to their recordings.
"One of the best makers of Dub in this Country" (Garvia Bailey - CBC Radio Canada)
