Tokyo Dub, Eastville Park, Bristol 27th Sep 2014
TOKYO DUB began in 2011, when they hosted the very first sound system event at Motion nightclub. Over the past few years they’ve had numerous events there, each one stoking the flame for the next. They have been organising music events in Bristol for the past 15 years which has reflected the sounds of Bristol’s music culture and art. They’ve grown organically because they welcome everyone. Every person who wants to listen, and every artist who wants to play. Their energy comes from the music and the crowds, and whatever direction they travel in depends on these two things alone. So far, they’ve been lucky enough to work with some of the soundest people in sound, those who represent the positive side of the industry – who show the love in everything that they do. And as long as we’ve privileged enough to be able to share this, they’ll keep going. Tokyo Dub don’t like to shout about what they do. People come because they want to listen. There is energy and positivity in the music and it’s worth celebrating. TOKYO DUB started as a one-off. For them every event is the last event. And when they end, they begin again.
