The anticipated return of Dub Club Melbourne is here.
Established in 2007, DCM introduced ‘soundsystem culture’ to a new audience, by promoting events where a purpose built sound and its crew would be the headliners. The cultural significance of soundsystems being crucial to the evolution of many music genres played by DJs, had remained un-established and largely bypassed in Australia. DCM’s vision was to present more traditional concepts, with a focus on reggae and dub music played through its traditional medium as the missing foundational element. Working in close association with Heartical Hi-Powa, their flagship events aptly named Basement Sessions ran monthly until 2015 and provided inspiration for newer emerging crews to build up their own equipment sets.
After a 10 year hiatus, where now an adoption of the culture across Australia has been observed, DCM has remained reserved, but the people have asked and now we’re back with a one away warehouse rave, featuring once gain Melbourne’s original purveyors -Heartical Hi-Powa, with a full crew line up of selectors and MCs on the full sound in full effect:
Stryka D at the controls (Heartical, PBSFM Break the Chain)
Stick Mareebo (JMFF, Melbun’s Guvnor General)
Lord Vadher (Svaha Records, Dub Dealers Society, Shades of Red)
Man Run Riddim
Mumma Char
General Purpose
Max Shottas
MC Manaki
Bar by 3 Ravens Brewery
Caribbean Street food by The Real Jerk Truck

This is a reunion for the DCM massive and an opportunity for those who missed us first time around to join us and unite. No need for International name, this is our yard and our game. When you hear the raven crow, get ready to go and rave on.
