About Me


Since 2003 Dub Spencer & Trance Hill have been part of the European Dub scene. Bassist Masi Stalder started The Band. Together with Adrian Pflugshaup(sax) and Chris Niederer (drums) they have released five EPs and distributed them on their own.
In 2006 the German label with cult status „Echo Beach“(Dub Syndicate, Tackhead, King Tubby...) signed DUB SPENCER & TRANCE HILL and released their first album „Nitro“ which received critical acclaim. The influential German Reggae magazine „Riddim“ voted „Nitro“ „Dub Album of the month“.
2007 Adrian and Chris got lost somewhere between backstage rooms, dangerous side streets and backyards. DS & TH was reformed as a quartet (Markus Meier - guitar, Philipp Greter - keys, Julian Dillier - drums and Masi Stalder - bass). But nobody wants to lament the old formation. The Dub Spencer & Trance Hill groove became more stable. On „Return Of The Supercops“ they have delved into the essence of Dub more than ever before and let it burn at the same time!
