20120907-DubFx.jpg Urbana in association with Arisco Music Group is pleased to announce the North American return of Dub Fx, performing live in Montreal on Friday, September 15th at the Telus Theater. The event will also feature special guests: Snareophobe, Flower Fairy, and Starfighterz.

Dub Fx is Benjamin Stanford, a street performer and studio-recording artist from St. Kilda, Melbourne, Australia. This rising solo musician is celebrated for his ability to manipulate sound using looping and effect pedals paired with his voice. The result is an intricate blend of hip-hop, reggae and dubstep. With a penchant for captivating drum and bass rhythms, Dub Fx truly puts on a live performance that is not to be missed.

This unique artist, who has relied solely on live performances, free samples, social networking, and word of mouth, has managed to achieve international success. His YouTube videos alone gathered over 10 million views each in 2008.

Today, Dub Fx travels and performs with his fiancee, Flower Fairy. The pair have performed at festival circuits across the globe. They have also headlined and played before sold out crowds as large as 300,000 people.

Dub Fx is the main founder of Convoyun.ltd, a co-op record label. He is touring this year with Convoy members: Snareophobe and Starfighterz. Among their Canadian tour dates, they will be performing at the Shambhala Festival in Salmo, BC as well as the World Electronic Music Festival (WEMF) in Algonquin Park, ON.

Telus Theatre is located at 1280 Rue St.Denis. Doors are at 10:00 p.m.
