Intro

I'm the guy behind Dub Flash. It has always been a one-man-project. Born and raised in Berlin (West), the heart of Europe, music is a big hobby for me, and one thing that keeps driving me since I was a young teenager. While my main musical love is Dub music, I have and am also involved in other genres and projects. But at the end, I always return to Dub.

I've had my first DJ gig around 1993/94, still underaged. My first official DJ gig in a proper club was around 1996/97. During the most active Dub Flash years between 2003-2010, I played Dub sets all around Europe, including festivals. I'm not officially retired, but after 2010, I only played a few sets, often as a guest feature or even anonymously. There isn't really a reason for that, it just so happened, and I never liked being in the spotlight anyway.

That's also why at Dub Flash Records, I mostly am the producer in the background, releasing other people's work. While my preferred Dub style is heavy electronic stepping dubwise without vocals, it was always important to me, that Dub Flash features a big variety of different Dub styles, from reggae to rootical Dub to technoid Steppers to leftfield dubby beats, you can find it all.

It was and is also important to me to focus purely on the music, and not on the cultural aspects around this genre. My project is to highlight the musical genre Dub. Pure Dub.

Outside of the realm of music, I prefer to stay private. I seek peace and quiet, that's why I dream of the Andromedub Galaxy. I don't know anyone from there who is not a nice entity.

            Dub Flash commented on the event DubTown&Fire
            I just checked my flyer archive, because Sunny Red sounded familar. On 6th March 2010, I was your guest at that venue together with Budman Red-I and Jah Chalice. It's awesome, that DubTown & Fire is still running strong 15 years later, and even...Read more

              DFR035 came back from mastering today, thus I'm positive that the release will be available from all the streaming platforms on 4th May, as planned. It's a digital-only album release by Dubby Cruiser called “Convertible Dubs”. The individual tunes were previously released as digital singles on Whimsical Music, but all songs received fresh mixes for the album. There will be 8 songs in 2 versions each, thus 16 tracks in total. Free download on Bandcamp.

                      Digital FX on bass is easy to create, but my experience is that this "insane bass craziness feeling" on a soundsystem only comes from analog effects. I was once on a King Alpha session and I - figuratively - fainted out of joy that his bass FX gave...Read more
