I-niverse meets Leo Tan - Holy Ground, Vol. 1

 

Dubophonic Records proudly presents another heartfelt collaboration between Leo Tan and I-niverse, delivering a powerful collection of roots reggae and dub inspired by faith, redemption, and the everlasting love of the Creator.

Built upon warm reggae foundations and deep dub sonics, the EP carries a clear message of hope and salvation through two original vocal compositions and their accompanying dub counterparts, culminating in a beautiful saxophone interpretation by Sax N Dub.

Opening the release, "Son Of God" is a passionate declaration of praise, celebrating Jesus Christ as King of Kings, Redeemer, and Savior. Blending biblical imagery with conscious reggae spirit, Leo Tan's lyrics speak of grace, righteousness, and the ultimate triumph of truth over Babylon, while I-niverse provides a rich and uplifting musical backdrop. The companion version, "Son Of Dub", transforms the song into a deep instrumental meditation, allowing the message to resonate through echo, bass, and space.

The second vocal offering, "There Is A Place", draws inspiration from the teachings of Christ and the promise of eternal peace. Reflecting on mercy, humility, and divine love, the song points toward a holy place where believers find rest and shalom in the presence of the Father. Filled with reverence and gratitude, it stands as a moving testimony of faith and redemption. Its dub counterpart, "There Is A Dub", explores the same spiritual landscape through immersive rhythms and atmospheric effects.

Closing the EP, "There Is A Sax" features the expressive playing of Sax N Dub, whose soulful melodies bring a fresh dimension to the composition. Floating gracefully over the roots rhythm, the saxophone version provides a reflective and uplifting finale to the journey.

With its blend of conscious reggae, gospel-inspired lyrics, and heavyweight dub production, Holy Ground Vol. 1 is a release dedicated to listeners seeking both spiritual nourishment and authentic roots vibrations. A celebration of faith, praise, and the enduring power of reggae music to uplift the soul.

Elastica Dub & Zion Train ft. Gabriel Blue - Astral Vision

 

 

Astral Vision is born from a radical idea: to imagine the world not as it is imposed on us, but as it could be. A world where weapons fall to the ground, hands return to the soil, borders dissolve, and the Earth is recognised as a living, conscious presence.

This vision is not utopia — it is an inner act of rebellion. When people reconnect with themselves and with the planet, systems of war, profit and control begin to lose their power. Real change starts in consciousness.

In Astral Vision, imagination becomes a sonic force. “I imagine” turns into a vibration — a mantra carried by bass, echo and voice, opening the door to another reality. On this ground meet TuZzY (Elastica Dub) and Neil Perch (Zion Train), two key figures of European dub culture. UK sound system tradition merges with Elastica Dub’s cinematic and visionary style, creating a bridge between roots and future.

Produced by TuZzY and Neil Perch, the release also features a Dub Version and a deep dubwise cut with extreme low-end, specifically crafted for sound system sessions and heavy bass culture. This is not a song that describes another world - it is a song that invites you to step inside it.

Elastica Dub & Don Hartley - Need More Love

Italian producer Alberto Tucci aka Elastica Dub combines the vibes of reggae and dub with pure creative energy.  The founder of Elastica Records, a historic label of Dub and Electronic Music, gathers around him the best of international artists, who love reggae and dub music, to create some great releases. After his tour in India and his collaborations with Zion Train and Daman, he releases his first single on Dubophonic Records.

Jamaican born and raised Roots Reggae artist Don Hartley has over three decades of experience sharing his deeply spiritual music. He shot to notoriety on the UK and European Dub scene in 2001 via his association with Manchester UK’s Nucleus Roots label. Don has since then gone on to work with notable producers and labels like Thierry Negro (Faya Dub), Lewis Bennett (Lewis Bennet Dub), Roll & Record, Fat Bird Recordings, Rod Chaplin (MessenJah Music) and Dubophonic Records through his recent collaboration with Mikey Dub. From Kingston, Jamaica, to the UK - from Jah Rastafari to Jesus Christ - his journey has shaped both his music and his message.

Elastica Dub and Don Hartley come together in a collaboration that blends heavy dub grooves with a powerful social message. Known for his soul-stirring lyrics and global perspective, Don Hartley voices the pain of a world torn by conflict—from Ukraine to Gaza, from broken friendships to digital isolation. Need More Love, produced by Elastica Dub, channels this cry through deep basslines and immersive soundscapes. 

Born between the Tuscan hills, the vibrant energy of London, and the vast silence of the Rajasthan desert, this track is both a call to conscience and a tribute to reggae’s role as the voice of the voiceless.

Mikey Dub - Triumphant Riddim (ft. Clotilde, Tharara, Joby T)

Mikey Dub is a musician and dub producer from Portland, Oregon USA. He creates dub music by recording instruments live, programming beats, and mixing it all down “dub style” with generous amounts of effects. Inspired by 70’s and 80’s Jamaican producers, his sound is a combination of modern soundsystem dub and classic roots reggae. His songs are unique in that they fuse live instrumentation with electronic. He has been consistently active in the studio producing tunes.

Clotilde grew up around Afro Caribbean rhythms since her father was a Caribbean musician. Influenced by merengue, calypso, kompa, reggae, she started to really get into dub music when she built a sound system with her friends in Bourges town, in France. She was singer/MC in this band. Moving to UK, she got closer to Dub culture and worked with various artists as a singer, songwriter and vocalist in sound systems.

 

Tharara (real name Brain Phili) was born and raised in Zimbabwe in the city of Bulawayo . The name Tharara "Jahhill" means mountain.  Rastafarian and musician, he currently lives and makes music in South Africa.

Texas born Joby Tijerna’s (aka. Joby T.) musical range varies from funk, big band, classical, reggae, dub, easy listening to rock & anything else with a good groove. Driven to learn as much as he can about these wonderful vibrations we receive as music, he learned from some of the best teachers and musicians in his community throughout my life.  

Triumphant Riddim is Mikey Dub's first EP on the label featuring some great vocalists and players of instruments. It includes 5 tracks on the same riddim: 2 vocal tracks sung by Clotilde and Tharara, 2 dubs by Mikey Dub and one horns version featuring Joby T. on the trumpet.
