About Dub L.F.O



”Some times accidents can be a good thing”, recalls Ben Spector original member of The Tel-Aviv powerhouse reggae act DUB L.F.O, This is the story of an unassuming rock act turned seminal reggae trail blazers. It began when the 4 piece finished another typical set at the epic club (now defunct) Jah-Pan in Southern TLV. The club owner was so taken by their a-typical moves and hooks on a dub song that they topped the night off with, he invited them to headline a reggae festival two weeks later. The problem was: They never really thought of themselves as a reggae band, nor did they have enough material to fill a set. The next morning the band woke up early, hung over and inspired.they locked themselves in a basement (shelter) for two weeks straight and built the foundations of what would become “Back To The Jungle”. 14 days later, they emerged with 12 new songs, crystallized and powerful.Yes; this is the story of a band that is steppin’ out of Zion, the original lions ’.



Those 14 days underground, sparked a fire through out the country. Dozens of National festival requests and radio interviews ensured, and it wasn’t long before the word spread ; this time to music festivals through out Europe. Organizers of “Fete del Musique” & Szgiet (The Largest Festival In Europe 800,000 revelers per year) were quick to recognize DUB L.F.O’s talent.



What is the band all about: “The essence of DUB L.F.O is really the live show.its about making bodies move while delivering a message that resonates to the heart of the reggae soul.truth, passion, freedom, overcoming the Babylon." -Roi Avital (front man for the group). Thousands of people have already been affected by the sounds and minds of DUB L.F.O; Their music has even been described by some critics as the answer to epic dub producer Adrian Sherwood’s staple “Becoming A Cliche’”



DUB L.F.O’s is now playing dozens of show’s back in Zion (Israel) and topping off their second release, (Untitled as of yet) The band has also recently signed a non-exclusive development deal with Oleh! Records, and is planning several tours at the beginning of 08’ in Europe and USA.

Move!- New single review



"There are songs that hit you like a guided missile, fire and forget. Just put it in your stereo and from now on your reactions become involuntary.

"Move!"

is no doubt that kind of song; it has just the right recipe for a Jungle-Dub track.



Haim Laroz(Israel's no 1 dub producer) produced this energetic band a cluster bomb that attacks all sectors. The Drum and Bass bounces your stomach while your ass is lost some where in the dozens of BPM's gone wild all over the dance floor"

"DUB L.F.O (low frequency oscillation ) is quite an apt name for this quintet from Israel as their music oscillates from straight forward, sunny reggae to overdriven drum n' bass heavy dub."
