You're Gonna Need Somebody Else

The first Dubhed excursion into reggae and dub soundscapes of 2026, with thirteen irresistible grooves to transport and transform you.

The selection spans over half a century from Derrick Morgan in 1968, through to Panda Bear and Sonic Boom's dub extravaganza, courtesy of Adrian Sherwood in 2023.

Sherwood's not the only master at the controls, he's joined by Lee 'Scratch' Perry, Bunny 'Striker' Lee, Tapper Zukie, Mad Professor, Jah Thomas and Scientist.

The line-up alone should give you a heads up that this is heavyweight. Turn the bass up, turn your phone off and let yourself go.
