DOWN TO EARTH REMIXES BY GENTLEMAN’S DUB CLUB OUT NOW ON EASY STAR RECORDS
Gentleman’s Dub Club continues to be one of the biggest live concert draws in the UK reggae scene and a leader in the genre for delivering great studio tracks packed with both traditional sounds and experimental boundary pushing. The group follows up their critically-praised 2021 album DOWN TO EARTH with a 6-song EP of remixes and dubs of favorites from that release. This includes remixes from the band itself, along with Canada’s Dubmatix, their old Leeds running mates Iration Steppas, and drum & bass DJs Bish and Gray. One notable track unlike any other in the current scene is the remix by Victor Rice, featuring Brazilian deejay Monkey Jhayam doing a Portuguese translation of “Castle In The Sky,” sure to catch ears in Brazil and continue to build GDC’s worldwide profile.
Gentleman’s Dub Club was formed in 2006 in the basement of number 44 Headingley Lane, Leeds. The band consists of 9 members: Jonathan Scratchley (Vocals), Tommy Evans (Drums), Kola Bello (Keys), Nick Tyson (Guitar), Toby Davies (Bass, Synths), Niall Lavelle (Percussion), Matt Roberts (Trumpet), Kieren Gallagher (Sax) and Harry Devenish (Sound). Having built a reputation on consistently delivering one of the most energetic and exhilarating live shows to emerge from the UK bass music scene, the Gents’ antics have seen them astound crowds from Goa to Glastonbury, Bestival, V Fest, Secret Garden Party and Poland’s Ostroda Reggae Festival, not to mention the biggest bass-music festival in the world – Croatia’s Outlook Festival. Their records hail support from some of the UK’s most prominent underground representatives including Huw Stephens (BBC Radio 1), Rob Da Bank (BBC Radio 1), David Rodigan (BBC 1XTRA ) and Don Letts (BBC Radio 6 music). Gentleman’s Dub Club have supported a number of established artists such as Roots Manuva, The Streets, The Wailers, Busy Signal, U-Roy, and Finley Quaye. Their debut on Easy Star Records was the 2015 release The Big Smoke, which showed new growth in songwriting for the band, as well as documenting the move from Leeds to a new home base in London.
