About Dub War
Dub War is New York's seminal dubstep night, and the first event of its kind in North America. Started in June 2005 to push the sounds of UK dubstep and other forms of underground dub music, it has introduced top name UK DJ's to US audiences, including Kode 9, Loefah, Mala of Digital Mystikz, and Skream.
Top US dubsteppers Joe Nice (one of URB's Next 100 for 2007), Dave Q, and MC Juakali are the Dub War residents,
and they can be found spreading the bassweight across the US and abroad. Dub War has been featured in Urb, XLR8R, ArtForum, and TimeOut NY. Also watch for Dub War Recordings #02 in stores soon featuring Random Trio Productions from London. Visit http://www.dubwarnyc.com for more info.
About Kush Arora
One of the closest bredren in the extended Sub Swara family, Kush Arora makes his much anticipated NYC debut at Sub Swara 018. His new album, From Brooklyn to SF, is set to blow minds across the globe. It is a journey through Dread Bass, dub/dubstep, hip hop and desi inflected digi dancehall , featuring several of the most adventurous vocalists and musicians in North America. From the deep meditative dub of Seed Halfi Grow to the full on dancefloor bass weight of Spread the Word, the album redefines the musical landscape. Kush has shared the bill with Dr. Isreal, Sf's Dhamaal Soundsystem, opened for Theivery Corp, and regularly plays the 10 year long running Dub Mission in San Francisco. Currently he holds a monthly residency at Surya Dub located at SF's Club 6 with contemporaries forging the Dread Bass movement internationally and will be performing his signature dubwise live PA set at Sub Swara alongside SS's own MC Juakali.
