MAD PROFESSOR:

A disciple of Lee “Scratch†Perry, Mad Professor was one of the leading producers in dub reggae’s second generation. His Dub Me Crazy albums helped dub make the transition into the digital age, when electronic productions started to take over mainstream reggae in the ’80s. His space-age tracks not only made use of new digital technology, but often expanded dub’s sonic blueprint, adding more elements and layers of sound than his forebears typically did. In the mid-’90s, he returned to the basics, debuting a more retro-sounding style on the Black Liberation Dub series. Additionally, he ran his own studio and label, Ariwa, which was home to a stable of vocalists (with an emphasis on lovers rock and conscious roots reggae) and some of the finest British reggae productions of the era. As his reputation grew, he became a remixer of choice for adventurous rock and techno acts, most notably revamping Massive Attack’s entire second album under the new title No Protection.

Equally renowned for producing deep roots reggae, trance-inducing dub and bitter sweet lover’s rock, the Mad Professor’s Ariwa Sounds stable is a veritable institution of British reggae.

TWILIGHT CIRCUS:

Twilight Circus is the acclaimed project of Canadian musician Ryan Moore. With 19 full-length albums and 20 vinyl singles released since 1995, Ryan Moore/Twilight Circus has received international recognition as one of the top producers in reggae and dub active today.

Spanning dub, reggae, electronic & even indie influences - featured guests on the recordings include Sly & Robbie, Luciano, Michael Rose (Black Uhuru), Big Youth, Gregory Isaacs, Sugar Minott, Queen Ifrica, Lutan Fyah, Style Scott (Roots Radics) & Dean Fraser. Twilight Circus has played 100's of live dates around the World with shows in the USA, Europe, UK, Canada, Asia, Middle East, Central & South America.

HOUSE OF DAVID GANG:

House of David Gang is one of Canada's busiest touring reggae bands. Rooted in the timeless tradition of Jamaican roots reggae from the 70s and early 80s as embodied by the immortal Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, and Bunny Wailer; House of David Gang adds a potent mix of jazz, funk and afrobeat to create a true global reggae orchestra.

Suma is thrilled to have these talented & soulful performers on board for DUB TIME!

CHOCOLATE & PATRICK ROOTS:

Reggae veterans DJ Chocolate and DJ Patrick Roots have been working the decks together since 2004, and their magical, rhythmic sets sound like they’ve been mixing together for much longer. Patrick’s been a major force at the U of T radio station for over 20 years, and Chocolate first stepped up to the decks and radio mic in 1994 and went on to start Toronto’s all-women DJ collective Chicks Dig It, open the first woman-owned vinyl mastering and recording studio Scratch Free and manage artists including the Dream Band and Kidd Rasta & The Peacemakers for her own company, Natty Posse Entertainment.

Get ready to sway your hips with a smile on your lips with these two on the decks!

ZUM ONE:

Deeply addicted to bass, Zum One has developed his artistic lexicon through participation in the tribal dance community. A rooted connection to the Earth has been another focus and inspiration to all his artistic projects. This is especially interesting, as Zum One is a digital artist, thus this deep ecological connection creates and interesting fusion between the organic and the electronic.

We’re excited to see what he pulls out of the crates for this DUB TIME set!

Can I ask why you continuously put together bills with so many acts on them? Don't get me wrong, I am glad you put on these shows and a lot of them look great, but why so much support?

[Jay Funk Dawg]

This crowd likes the parties to go until 4 am... so with a show starting at 10pm, you have 6 hours to fill.

You can't really call these events concerts, they are really special event parties put on by local promoters and since it's a big venue it always important to bring a big diverse group of people together... especially linking with Toronto support.

The line up is pretty impressive, UK Dub Pioneer, BC based Dub master, mixed with Toronto Reggae Crew House of David, and local reggae/dub authorities DJ Patrick Roots / DJ Chocolate plus bass addicted live PA act ZUM ONE.

What about the majority of the rest of your shows that go from 1030 to 130 and have 3 or more bands on the bill?

[Jay Funk Dawg]

I find that a good bunch of support helps. It's best when there's a team of bands helping each other out to bring out a crowd.. but also from a DJ party stand point, fans like the music to be more continuous... at my shows we try to keep a flow of energy from the start to the end.

hype it!
