Local dub reggae producer RAS RED I will be gracing your ears with an evening of blessedly melodic reggae and dub vibrations on the 16th December. He'll be pulling all the classics out of the bag as-well-as mixing some live dubs for us throughout his set. Check out his laid-back rhythms on his Soundcloud: soundcloud.com/rasredi

Ras Red I - born in the late 70’s in the south east of the UK, in a household where music was a priority and where roots reggae was never far from the hi-fi. This in combination with early exposure to the irresistible might of open air reggae sound systems clearly made a big impression on the young producer in waiting. Teenage years were misspent feeding the addiction to riddim, forever seeking out that perfect version. The dub had taken hold. Things came to a tragic head in around 2001 when he was diagnosed with O.D.D. (Obsessive Dub Disorder). Many feared for his sanity and it is during these dark times that Ras Red I claims that King Tubby himself visited him in a dream, instructing him to create “brand new, old fashioned dub” Today he manages his condition with strict doctor’s orders and daily doses of roots therapy. He is rumored to reside somewhere in the south west where he spends his time in the studio buildings riddims with his loyal house band The Red-ites.heavy duty yet tuneful dub instrumentals: brand new old fashioned dub in homage to the 70's and early 80's jamaican remixing pioneers who turned the mixing desk in to a musical instrument in itself. Long live DUB!
