Post Description
Dub FX (real name Benjamin Stanford) is a worldwide street performer
and studio recording artist from St Kilda, Melbourne, Australia. His
trademark is creating rich live music using only his own performance aided
by Live looping and effect pedals combined with his voice. He creates
intricate hip hop, reggae and drum and bass rhythms.
Stanford traveled and performs with his fiance, who is known simply as
Flower Fairy (real name Shoshana Sadia). Dub FX first met her in
Manchester, and she joined him in his travels around the globe to busk for
the public. Flower Fairy can usually be seen selling CDs during Dub FX's
performances and also performs a few songs alongside Stanford. She is
featured singing in a song on Everythinks A Ripple, Wandering Love.
Two songs from Everythinks A Ripple, Flow and Wandering Love, feature
a street saxophonist named Mr Woodnote, who also uses similar looping
techniques as Dub FX using a saxophone.
In 2010 Dub FX collaborated with Melbourne based producer Sirius and
released the album titled: Dub FX and Sirius -A crossworlds. A
Crossworlds could be defined as dubstep because of the heavy emphasis
on sub frequencies and the tempo's used ranging from 138 - 145Bpm.
Dub FX does not beatbox on this album. Any information on how Dub Fx
and Sirius came to collaborate or meet is unknown.
Dub FX is also one part of the dubstep act Kila Mega Giga Tera, the other
half being Glade Kettle (Distro)(aka Sirius) They have one song release to
date on aquatic lab sessions volume 1. A CD and limited edition vinyl
compilation released in 2009. Kila Mega Giga Tera also have a
