Salmonella Dub, hailing from Aotearoa (New Zealand), has been a defining force in the Pacific's dub and bass music scene since their formation in the early 1990s. The group's name, a play on the Bad Brains song "Salmonella Dub," encapsulates their infectious blend of reggae, dub, drum and bass, and electronica, infused with the deep grooves and bouncy rhythms characteristic of their sound. Over the years, Salmonella Dub has developed a dedicated following, not just in New Zealand but worldwide, through their innovative music and explosive live performances.

The band’s evolving lineup has seen a variety of musicians contributing to its distinctive sound, with the core members Andrew Penman, Dave Deakins, and Mark Tyler leading the charge in their musical exploration. Salmonella Dub’s discography showcases a commitment to both musical evolution and the roots of their genre, taking listeners on a journey with albums like "One Drop East" and visionary collaborations such as "Live with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra." Their more recent offerings, such as the "DnB and Dancehall (Remixes)" and "Soul Love Trippa" showcase their ability to reinterpret their work and keep it fresh for new audiences. With their music often addressing sociopolitical themes and promoting cultural inclusivity, Salmonella Dub remains a prominent and influential force in the global music landscape.
