The Sound of Dub Punk

The Sound of Dub Punk blends crusty punk spirit with bass-heavy reggae and ska influences, creating a gritty and political hybrid sound that's as danceable as it is defiant. Pulling together tracks like Suicide Bid's "Like a Lion" and Inner Terrestrials' "Law Dealers", this playlist taps into the anarcho-punk and DIY scene’s long-standing love affair with dub and dub-influenced sounds. Expect heavy rhythms, toasting vocals, and a backdrop of anti-authoritarian energy.

Featuring artists like P.A.I.N, King Prawn, and Culture Shock alongside newer names like Primeval Soup and Dissident Noize Factory, the playlist moves between slower, echo-laden grooves and fast-paced ska-punk blasts. From shout-along street anthems to spacey dub breakdowns, the vibe stays raw and unpolished, grounded in protest and underground community culture. It’s the sound of squat parties, city protests, and sticky basement gigs—all tied together with a rolling bassline.
