About Me

This Reggae Dub quartet explores future electronic sounds with a traditional roots foundation. Taking a turn from their original music careers: this Hip-Hop producer, Jungle Producer, MC and Jazz performer come together come together to create instrumental soundscapes of organic reggae, dank dub and scientific down-tempo. Based out of Atlanta Georgia, the quartet released their first album "Dub Muscle" in October of 2003 less than a year after joining forces. The albums free flowing vibes and lazy dub ambience was a breath of fresh air to Atlanta's industry ass-kissing/Get Crunk music scene and seemed to put a smile on everyone's face. Two years, countless shows and a trip to the motherland (Jamaica) later the group is set to release their 2nd Lp in the summer of 2005. With guest appearances from the Dungeon Family's own Witch Doctor and many others, their sure to get 'em grinning, once again. You should create your own MySpace Layouts like me by using nUCLEArcENTURy .COM's MySpace Profile Editor !
