Future Dub from Ancient Scotland
An Dannsa Dub (The Dub Dance in Gaelic) is the brainchild of dub vocalist & producer Tom Spirals and Scottish traditional musician Euan McLaughlin formed in 2020. The project fuses the mystical energy and instruments of traditional Scottish music and Gaelic song with the heavy, meditative, driving basslines digital dub music.
Music is one big conversation. And few projects live at the heart of it like An Dannsa Dub.
Born from a love of traditional Scottish folk, dub reggae and dance music, together they summon the joyous, communal energy of a cèilidh and a sound system session.
Their name comes from the Gaelic for “The Dub Dance”. Their sound celebrates the ancient Gaelic and West African rhythms that influenced reggae, which in turn, via sound system culture and dub’s pioneering remixes, produced modern dance music. Their live shows and recordings are a seamless, pulsating fusion of all this and more.
An Dannsa Dub have carried this unique, unstoppable sound to the Uk festival circuit and beyond. Notable shows include a 10,000 strong crowd at Boomtown Fair, Glastonbury’s Glade stage, Lorient Festival Interceltique, a headline a sold out show at Celtic Connections, the UK’s premier Celtic music festival, performing on the mainstage at Dubcamp; the top soundsystem music festival in France, Performing to over 5000 Italians dressed as druids at Montelago Music festival near Rome and a sold out headline show at The Old Fruitmarket our own home city of Glasgow.
