Having imprinted his name in the mind of the reggae fans across Canada & Europe with one of his first-ever releases back in 2004, the Toronto-born producer is now firmly established as one of Canada’s premiere reggae/dub artists and with two chart-topping releases behind and the new “Renegade Rocker” just coming out, the future looks brighter than ever.

l_63f31f3d62d5df60ab763e8c987416ae Music runs deep within the veins as does the various musical styles Dubmatix drops – from pure, old-school King Tubby dub to the freshest electro/steppers dub to classic conscious roots to Drum’n'Bass and more. Growing up Dubmatix was surrounded by instruments and recording equipment which provided hours of experimentation and recording from an early age. Having learned drums, bass, guitar and piano as a youth helped push the boundaries of musical taste and production later in life. Over the past years he’s been in various reggae & acid jazz groups jumping from drums to bass and back in 2002/2003 firmly planted the seeds of what became the first Dubmatix release “Champion Sound Clash” which garnered rave reviews across the globe and landed a European licensing deal. Since then “Atomic Subsonic” was dropped in 2006 and “Renegade Rocker” in 2008 with various remixes, production and digital releases in between. Working with local artists such as Treson, Kulcha Ites, Raffa & Howie Smart to legendary heavy weights Sugar Minott, Michael Rose, Alton Ellis, Wayne Smith and more – Dubmatix brings a vibe that is hard to lock down but always provides solid grounding in bass-heavy grooves.
