Sufi Dub Brothers

Sufi Dub Brothers is the dynamic duo of Ashraf Sharif Khan and Viktor Marek, a musical partnership that bridges continents and cultures. Ashraf Sharif Khan, a sitar virtuoso from Lahore, Pakistan, comes from a long line of classical musicians and brings centuries of South Asian tradition to their sound. Viktor Marek, originally from Germany, is a producer and percussionist with a background in experimental and electronic music. Together, they’ve been collaborating for over a decade, blending Khan’s intricate sitar melodies with Marek’s eclectic beats and production, creating a genre-defying mix they call “sufistep”—a sound that floats between hip-hop, dub, jungle, and acid electronics.

Their music is more than just fusion; it’s a meeting point for real encounters and global influences. From their debut album to their latest release, “The Return of the Sufi Dub Brothers,” their work features collaborations with artists from places like Burkina Faso and Sicily, reflecting their transcontinental journeys. Whether they’re reimagining classical melodies or crafting dancefloor-ready tracks, Sufi Dub Brothers bring a unique energy and openness to every project, making them a standout act in the world of experimental and cross-cultural music.
