Honey Gentleman's Dub Club ft. Hollie Cook

Gentleman's Dub Club's “Honey” funnels the UK collective's signature live-band energy into a track that's simultaneously polished and raw. The group has built their reputation on the kind of performances that convert skeptics — eight musicians locked into a groove, building dynamics in real time, making electronic dub techniques feel organic and human. That live-wire energy translates to the recorded version with minimal loss, largely because the band understands that dub is an active process rather than a fixed sound.

The single lands within Easy Star Records' tradition of championing UK-based acts who bring a distinctly British perspective to reggae and dub. Alongside The Skints' punk-inflected reggae, Gentleman's Dub Club represents the sound system and festival culture that has made the UK one of reggae's most vibrant international scenes. The label's willingness to look beyond Jamaica and the American market for roster additions has been one of its defining curatorial strengths.

“Honey” works equally well in headphones and on a festival stage — a quality that speaks to the band's dual identity as both studio craftsmen and road warriors. The production rewards close listening with its layered details and dubwise effects, but the groove is undeniable enough to move a crowd of thousands. It's that versatility that has made Gentleman's Dub Club one of dub music's most reliable live draws.
