Dub Pistols (UK), Freestylers (UK), Mango

Concert hall

The new date for the postponed concert on November 13th. The Dub Pistols have achieved everything they can and still want more. They are simply one of the best live bands in the UK.

Dub Pistols, led by Barry Ashworth and Jason O’Bryan, were formed in London in 1996. The two producers (Ashworth also as vocalist, O’Bryan as bassist) travelled a long road from their early singles to the fully developed Six Million Ways To Live LP, a journey that brought them widespread popularity. While difficult to categorise, their core influences can be identified as dub and hip-hop, blended with elements of ska, punk, techno and breakbeats.

They have produced numerous remixes for artists such as Moby, The Crystal Method, Limp Bizkit, Bono, Korn and Ian Brown. Their collaboration with Busta Rhymes, “One,” appeared on the Blade II soundtrack, while “Molotov” was featured in Alfonso Cuarón’s Y Tu Mamá También. The two producers also brought their sound to the stage in a live setup, joined by collaborators including UK hip-hop pioneer Rodney P, singer Terry Hall, American vocalist T.K. Lawrence, trombonist Tim Hutton and scratch DJ Styx. Additional featured artists include Lynval Golding (The Specials), Horace Andy and MC SirReal.

Dub Pistols’ explosive dancefloor anthems have detonated countless clubs worldwide. Often compared to Basement Jaxx for their electronic eclecticism, they move with deadly precision across virtually every dance music genre - something they have repeatedly proven live in Hungary as well.

With a career spanning nearly three decades, the Freestylers —Aston Harvey and Matt Cantor — have made their mark on the electronic dance music scene. From playing the world’s biggest festivals and clubs to appearing on Top of the Pops, they’ve remained at the forefront of the genre without ever standing still.

Dub Pistols (UK)

Barry Ashworth and Jason O'Bryan AKA the Dub Pistols have spent the best part of a decade at the forefront of Beats culture. From their early singles for Concrete Records to their genre defying 'Six Million Ways To Live' long player, the Dub Pistols have always added a much needed Rock n Roll swagger to the UK's dance scene. Chewing up hip-hop, dub, techno, ska and punk and spitting them out in a renegade futuristic skank they have consistently defied categorisation and exceeded the highest of expectations.

Their genre-mashing abilities have led to remix work for the likes of Lily Allen, Bono, Ian Brown, Moby, Natalie Imbruglia, Crystal Method, Limp Bizkit & Korn, and has seen them work with hip-hop legend Busta Rhymes on 'One', a track for the Blade 2 soundtrack and 'Molotov' on the Y Tu Mama Tambien soundtrack. In recent years the band has mutated from a studio based duo into a fully fledged live act often featuring the talents of guest vocalists UK Hip Hop don Rodney P, the maverick and mercurial former Specials front man Terry Hall, US rap wünderkind T.K., as well as Sugardaddy horn-blower Tim Hutton and scratch maestro DJ Stix.

Their third album 'Speakers And Tweeters', released on 9th April 2007, through Rob da Bank's Sunday Best label, is a consummate statement of intent. Their most accessible to date, the album's 13 tracks draw on a rich tapestry of influences, weaving tight beats and even tighter rhymes into a refined and assured set. The stirring chords and laid-back beats of 'Speed of Light', featuring guest vocalist Blade's skilful flow, opens the album in style. An inspired cover of Punk legends The Stranglers' classic 'Peaches', immediately grabs the attention, with the vocal dexterities of guest vocalists Rodney P and Terry Hall taking centre stage, before the pumping, angular funk of the album's title track 'Speakers And Tweeters' takes hold. A deeply ingrained skank runs throughout the album, as ably demonstrated on the horn-driven 'Running From The Thoughts'.
