Victoria BC Ska & Reggae Society proudly presents Dub FX and Def3 at the Rickshaw Theatre on Saturday, June 21! Dub FX is set to bring his signature fusion of beatboxing, looping, and bass-heavy electronic dub to Vancouver. Known for turning sidewalks into stages, the Australian-born artist has captivated global audiences with his genre-blurring sound—melding reggae, hip-hop, drum and bass, and conscious lyricism into one unforgettable experience. From viral street performances to massive festival sets, Dub FX is a one-man sonic force, crafting entire soundscapes with just his voice and a loop station. Sharing the stage with Dub FX is Def3. Def3 is a Western Canadian Music Award-winning artist from Vancouver who blends hip hop and electronic music with raw lyricism and bass-heavy beats. With over 10 million streams and performances at top festivals like Shambhala and venues like Red Rocks, his dynamic live sets fuse live vocals, samplers, and custom visuals. Def3 has collaborated with top EDM producers and hip hop legends, earning praise from artists like Anderson Paak. Prezence who is appearing with Dub FX on select west coast shows this summer will open the show singing soulful vocals & live mixing — "dubbing" his loops. His innovative Ableton Live rig pays homage to dub pioneers King Tubby & Lee "Scratch" Perry as well as modern dub masters Umberto Echo and Laurent “Tippy I” Alfred. With heavy inspiration from the modern reggae of Midnite, Protoje, Jesse Royal, Kabaka Pyramid, Prezence weaves elements of funk, jazz and rock into a sonic tapestry that is unique, and undeniable. Don’t miss this high-voltage night of beats, bass, and boundary-pushing sound!
