Having lived in a van for 6 years and performing on street corners worldwide Dub FX has built an underground fan base that rivals some of the most successful artists today. A pioneer of live looping, Dub FX builds each track in the moment by beat boxing a heavy groove, layering soulful vocals & warm melodic bass lines.
In 2009 Dub FX's social media skyrocketed when Bristol filmmaker Ben Dowden captured his live street performances and uploaded them to YouTube. With over 600,000 Facebook fans and over 100 million YouTube views Dub FX promotes self- empowerment and inspiration to independent artist all over the world.
10 years strong Ben Stanford, aka Dub FX, has played almost every major festival worldwide including Glastonbury, Coachella, Sziget, Boomtown, Shambala and Exit. Currently on tour through Canada before heading to many corners of Europe, Dub FX heads home in December to play the inaugural Pleasure Garden Festival in Melbourne.
Recorded in his own Treetop Studios, Thinking Clear is a blend of urban genres sown together with soulful conscious lyrics.
"I wanted the album to sound live and electronic so I wrote & recorded the album with a bass player, pianist, percussionist and a 3 piece horn section."
"I'm always evolving artistically. By working with Evan Tweedie (Bass) & Andy V (Keys) I have been able to explore new territory in the song writing process. The album was recorded in 4 months but I wrote a lot of the lyrics while on tour. I feel like this album captures the essence of all aspects of my journey" Dub FX says of the record.
Dub FX has a way of exploring social, political & spiritual subjects that leave you positive and inspired. The blend of live instrumentation over his signature beat boxing gives an edge to his unique sound.
