Netherlands-based Desh.Dubs is a music artist, researcher and social activist who’s collaborated and worked with the likes of Black-Pact, the Rap Prophets and the Zambezi Symphony over the years. Pairing his sonic creativity with visual accompaniments, he joined the ArtScience Department of the Royal Academy of Arts in the Hague, the Royal Conservatory and the Media Department of the University of Leiden where he combined his music with visual arts.
A keen academic, he continued at the University and earned a Master’s degree in African Studies, an endeavour that saw Desh take a critical look at academia and its role in society. By observing how African Studies have been interpreting features of African heritage and culture such as performance, oral history and indigenous knowledge, he’s taken an important topic and filtered it through his own artistic lens.
With his music he crafts a dub-heavy rhythmic sound full of punching grooves and instantly catchy vocal leads. Now he brings us his latest track with his new single “Dubstar”, a combative Afro-reggae style drill track that contrasts hard-hitting vocal delivery and thumping beats against airy guitars and delicate melodic ideas.
Produced by Viper Beats London, engineered by Mosouns Studio and mastered by longtime collaborator Statinski, “Dubstar” lays down the best of Desh.Dubs original sound. Featuring his free-flowing vocal rhythms delivered by his deep and impactful voice, with his new single the artist continues to go from strength-to-strength with each new release.
