about

Here comes SANTA CLAUS and he stole the Dub Robot lander, flew it to space, took over my studio, and mixed the wildest set of Christmas songs this side of Mars. This set of 8 classic Christmas songs features the always incredible Dub Robot absolutely melting holiday cheer into pure dub bliss via blistering saxophone performances across the entire album. A mix of frankincense, myrrh, and lots and lots of GOLD. Santa is in space and he's not coming back!

Also featuring the incredible John Roy of Smoke and Mirrors Sound System, he proves to be a yin to Dub Robot's yang. Where Dub Robot provides ooey gooey, funky, laid-back melodies - John plays sharp and biting horn stabs that contrast the lead lines perfectly. Wise Owl handles the main production and arranging duties on the 2nd half of the album, which is more than any contributor has ever done up to this point on a Black Market project.

Stay tuned for next year when this album will re-release on vinyl with an expanded tracklist! Keep your ears peeled.

This one is worth the wait folks. What an incredibly fun set of songs. As always LISTEN LOUD! Happy Holidays!

about

Black Market Dub Los Angeles, California

What would happen if The Beach Boys had The Wailers as their backing band instead of The Wrecking Crew? What if David Bowie spent the summer of 1975 in Kingston, Jamaica with King Tubby instead of Philidelphia? Michael Jackson meets Scratch Perry? These questions are the basic thesis of Black Market. Listen loud, dance, enjoy, and share. I make these albums for free but accept donations. ... more

Last Goodbye

Roger Rivas is hands down one of the best organists I've ever heard, and his band The Aggrolites are an absolute MUST see live. Rodger's solo albums are groovy, and perfect to put on anytime. Black Market Dub
