DUB GABRIEL
身為一個音樂製作人，俱樂部 DJ，同時還是個能把玩多種不同樂器的能手，Dub Gabriel這個傢伙這十年來一直熱衷於打破搖滾、dub、世界音樂和電子音樂之間的藩籬。90年代中他在紐約布魯克林區的音樂探索使得他受到紐約先鋒音樂場景的薰陶，進而開啓了他在傳奇俱樂部Limelight的DJ生涯。他獨特的混融音樂風格和打碟手法在紐約的地下跳舞俱樂部圈子裡成為一個領軍人物，甚至連Andy Warhol 的 Interview 雜誌都稱他為 "紐約最受矚目的新星之一"。
時至今日，不管是創作新穎的音樂、為其他音樂家製作混音、或是在夜店裡播放激動人心的舞曲，Dub Gabriel持續不斷地在音樂的各方各面堅持他的理念。他最近在Ciao My Shining Star: The Songs of Mark Mulcahy專輯中和R.E.M.的主唱Michael Stipe合作，專輯裡Radiohead的Thom Yorke 和The National，Mercury Rev、Frank Black都一起貢獻了他們的音樂。事實上這是他的二次和Michael Stipe合作，第一次是在Dub Gabriel 2008年的專輯"Anarchy & Alchemy",這張劃時代的作品受到眾多的音樂雜誌樂評的一致好評，像是Pitch Fork, New York Magazine, The Wire 和 CMJ, Exclaim Magazine 甚至稱它為 “年度最佳跳舞音樂專輯。
在他的第四張即將發行的唱片專輯裡，Dub Gabriel找來了更多音樂界裡的傳奇人物跟他一起合作，像是雷鬼大師U Roy, Bauhaus/Love & Rockets的成員David J, Gogol Bordello的團員們等等。2009年他製作了許多傑出的混音，如Balkan Beat Box (J Dub), Raiz (Universal) 還有No-Wave 風格的傳奇先鋒樂隊Suicide！Dub Gabrie的音樂裡總是少不了多元異國元素，所以他還和
Bachir Attar & The Master Musicians of Jajouka一起合作一個特別的音樂項目，這個計畫包含在錄音室和現場巡迴演出兩方面的合作。除了這些之外，他還抽空為電影和電視製作音樂，他已經幫 MTV, VH-1和Nickelodeon做了許多音樂，還有一部由 Bradley Cooper演出，即將上映的電影配樂。
作為一個DJ，他經常在世界各地的俱樂部裡和其他最受推崇的DJ一起演出，像是Kode9, DJ Craze, Banga, Bomb Squad, Jazzanova, Scientist和傳奇工業樂隊Meat Beat Manifesto！他是
浩室音樂大師Francois K的傳奇俱樂部Deep Space裡的受邀常客，也曾幫時尚品牌Givenchy在北京的時尚周，Puma在柏林的的世界杯派對，和在聯合國的和平鐘50週年儀式裡做過精彩的演出。
許多的樂評和媒體將他的音樂形容為結合了Thievery Corporation, Bill Laswell和Brian Eno三大家最好的精華於一爐。這次Dub Gabriel難得在北京的演出，相信真正喜愛牛B音樂的樂迷不會錯過。
Producer, DJ and multi-instrumentalist, Dub Gabriel has been pushing the boundaries of rock, dub, world and electronic music for over a decade. His musical explorations in Brooklyn in the mid 90’s drew him to the outer limits of the New York scene where he got his start as a DJ at the legendary Limelight.
His genre-bending style and hard-hitting sets launched him as a trailblazing figure in the New York underground club scene and gained him the attention of leading publications including Andy Warhol’s Interview Magazine who hailed Dub Gabriel as “one to watch” in New York City.
Fast-forward to today and Dub Gabriel continues to build on this legacy in everything he does - whether it’s creating genre defying original music, remixing projects or throwing down slamming DJ sets. Most recently he has collaborated with Michael Stipe on a track for the album Ciao My Shining Star: The Songs of Mark Mulcahy, which also features tracks from Thom Yorke, The National, Mercury Rev and Frank Black. This is his second collaboration with Stipe - the first one being for Dub Gabriel’s 2008 album, Anarchy & Alchemy. The album has garnered critical acclaim from leading publications Pitch Fork, New York Magazine, The Wire and CMJ, with Exclaim Magazine naming it the “Best Dance Album of the Year”.
In between working on his upcoming fourth studio album; which features collaborations with a diverse crew of legendary artists that include U Roy, David J (Bauhaus/Love & Rockets), members of Gogol Bordello and many others; 2009 has seen Dub Gabriel dropping remixes for Balkan Beat Box (J Dub), Raiz (Universal) and a soon-to-be-released remix for the uncompromising No-Wave pioneers, Suicide. Staying true to his multi-cultural roots, he is also working on a side project with Bachir Attar & The Master Musicians of Jajouka, which will culminate in both a studio release and a live touring project. If all of that isn’t enough, he continues to stay busy composing for TV & film and has written music for MTV, VH-1 and Nickelodeon, as well as scoring an upcoming feature film staring Bradley Cooper.
As a DJ, Dub Gabriel is much in demand on the international club circuit dropping sets alongside other genre defying DJ’s and artists that include, Kode 9, DJ Craze, Banga, Bomb Squad, Jazzanova, Scientist and Meat Beat Manifesto. He is a regular guest at Francois K’s legendary Deep Space night at Cielo and has even held down sets at Givenchy’s runway show during China Fashion Week in Beijing, Puma’s World Cup party in Berlin and the 50th Anniversary of the Peace Bell Ceremony at the United Nations!
