DUB SPENCER & TRANCE HILL

Bubbling, dancing, echoing: For two decades Dub Spencer & Trance Hill have been

thrilling audiences with their unique and virtuosic mix of dub reggae and electronic dance

music. Besides an unique sound aesthetic and their deep understanding and love for

groove, humor also plays an essential role. No matter if Italowestern, Spoken Word or

Goldies: The four Swiss manage, always tasteful, to take influences of any color and

create their own.

This constantly expanding sound cosmos is also reflected in their current and now twelfth

album “Imago Cells”, which is tellingly dedicated to metamorphosis. And this transforms

the dubby sound into a psychedelic-technoid creature (in keeping with the band's name):

half reggae, half trance, so to speak. Sometimes it feels like the early hours of the morning

in the oriental chai tent of a Goa party, then again the quartet takes us to a smoky

underground club somewhere in an abandoned industrial district.

Masi Stalder on bass, guitarist Markus Meier and Julian Dillier on drums provide the

organic component with their instruments, while Philipp Greter works diligently on the

synthesizers and effects. The sound is invariably danceable, and that they are among the

best dub performers in Europe has long been proven by their more than 400 gigs!

In fall 2025, the Swiss Band will release

their next work: “Synchronos” (Echo

Beach). It will be performed LIVE IN

SURROUND in selected clubs together with

the mixing desk master Umberto Echo.

In this ecstatic live performance, the

electronic dub tracks meet the

spectacular possibilities of surround

sound and Umberto Echo's dub mixing

skills, which are already legendary in

stereo.

All fans of danceable dub, trance and

organic techno music can expect an

absolutely extraordinary sound

experience that should not be missed.
