Reggae, jungle, drum & bass, hiphop i elektronika. Britská kapela Dub Pistols, kterou založili v Londýně roku 1996 Barry Ashworth a Jason O'Bryan, tyto žánry míchá více než zdatně. Už v devadesátkách, kdy tahle parta začala tvořit, bylo jasné, že Dub Pistols jsou něco extra. Během své téměř třicet let dlouhé kariéry spolupracovali s umělci jako The Specials, Busta Rhymes, Horace Andy, Madness a Gregory Isaacs. Na Flédu přijedou 17. listopadu a dovezou nový materiál, protože jejich desáté album vychází letos.

Dub Pistols vyrostli z bigbeatové exploze v polovině devadesátých let. Reakce na šablonovitou houseovou hudbu, kde díky zázrakům samplovacích technologií mohli do taneční melodie zakomponovat doslova cokoli. Inspirovaní Chemical Brothers a Fatboy Slimem začali BarryAshworth s Jasonem O'Bryanem vytvářet hutné beaty a jejich bombastický singl „There's Gonna Be A Riot“ byl podepsán u Concrete Records, dceřiné společnosti DeConstruction. Debutové album Point Blank pak vyšlo v roce 1998 a další nanahrávky na sebe nenechaly dlouho čekat!

How many bands have the career longevity to release ten albums? They might have been perilously close to falling apart on various occasions in their history, but the Dub Pistols have rolled with the punches and are now gearing up to release their tenth album in early 2025.

It’s been a long road travelled, full of twists and turns, but with their legion of faithful fans and numerous collaborators and friends the Dubs are in a better place now than they’ve ever been with a new album, their own festival, a documentary, a book and more international tours on the horizon. These renegade Pistoleros are unstoppable. The Dub Pistols grew out of the big beat explosion of the mid-1990s. Big beat was the anything-goes reaction to formulaic house music, where — thanks to the wonders of sampling technology — literally anything could be thrown into a dance tune. Taking a cue from the Chemical Brothers and Fatboy Slim, main man Barry Ashworth began making block rockin’ beats with pal Jason O’Bryan, and bombastic first offering ‘There’s Gonna Be A Riot’ was signed by Concrete Records, a subsidiary of DeConstruction. A string of missives followed in its wake — ‘Best Get Better’, the explosive ‘Westway EP’, and then a chipper ‘Cyclone’, which dented the UK national charts — and debut album ‘Point Blank’ was released in 1998.
