Froid Dub  + DJs at The Cube
Headfirst Editor's Pick

"Cold AF synth-dub domination like Basic Channel colliding with Chris and Cosey or OM Unit sparring with King Jammy. Froid Dub’s nuclear fusions of French minimal wave and Jamaican kosmische are seemingly designed for Bristol hearts, sit back and let the Cube rumble."

A gig held at The Cube on Friday 30th May. The event starts at 20:30.


Specialist record shop Disk Frisk and the Cube present an evening of original coldwave dub from the heartlands of Paris' throbbing musical underbelly.

Presenting their new album 'Tears Maker Chant" released via Ransom Note, this is one for all the dub heads, live electronics nerds, and deep bass synth wave soldiers.

Froid Dub takes us on a unique concoction of modern digi-dub, a crossover of wave and dub. An equation already figured out by post-punk at the end of the '70s, updated here with a touch of club culture, and a more personal vibe. The critical acclaim that followed the release of the now highly collected debut EP "An iceberg crusing the Jamaican coastline" (Delodio - 2021) catapulted Froid Dub onto the international electronic music scene, and made this record one of the favorites of many DJ's, records stores, and journalists.

Run by F.M. (François Marché) and Fafane (Stéphane Bodin), two Paris (France)-based musicians who know each other quite well, as they never stopped making and searching for music together since they met in high school. They also manage Delodio, a label whose reputation as a high quality electronic music provider, taken from the past or created in the present is closely followed by a number of DJs and music curators. Each month, the Delodio team / Froid Dub partners redefine a no borders sonic map during their multi-aesthetic residency on Kiosk Radio.

The duo performs live and offers Froid Dub in a acid-tinged electro-dub set that mixes modern machines and analog, deep bass synths. A dancing balancing act between organic and digital, hot and cold.

"Dub-motifs dart through dimensional seams, Exploding the borders of musical schemes,
A padded room of sonic derangement flows, Where Paris dissolves and nobody knows
The difference ‘tween reality and dreams!"

Support comes from local Bristolian live dub mutants still TBA - just trust us!
