Live dub // bass, machines, tenor sax Uptown Rebel champions a modern and energetic version of dub inspired by the English scene. The group’s live set can shift from a vocal track reminiscent of Jamaican roots to a robotic dub version where the use of effects is omnipresent. Driven by the desire to recreate music typically made in the studio on stage, Uptown Rebel builds and deconstructs their tracks without barriers or limits to deliver a unique set at every concert. After several shared musical experiences in various bands, these three enthusiasts of reggae and electronic music had been wanting to start a dub project for a few years. It was during a night of creation at the studio of Manutension (former guitarist and programmer for The Improvisators Dub) that Uptown Rebel was born (2009). Contact, booking // uptownrebel@hotmail.fr
