When DAWA HIFI and ROOTS RAID, both pioneers of Dub in France, collaborate, it gives rise to “RED LIGHT,” a powerful album released on November 28th via ODG Prod.
They unveil eight collaborative tracks, reflecting 20 years of friendship, joint creations, and musical explorations.
Throughout the album, listeners are immersed in a variety of sonic landscapes—from groovy rhythms reminiscent of Jamaican reggae/dub to the ethereal, hypnotic pulse of bass, drums, and melodies—while also flirting with the boundaries of Congolese rumba and electro dub.
The RED LIGHT project is a tribute to Dub and its diversity.
Live, RED LIGHT brings together DAWA HIFI (with Valentin on live mixing and machines), Natty Bass from ROOTS RAID (on bass and Korg MS-10), and Bongo Ben (on percussion and mic entertainment). It’s a unique project crafted for both live performances and sound system sessions.
The fusion of their distinct musical identities—an undeniable strength on record—translates into a high-energy live show whenever the trio comes together.
With vintage analog synths, organic instruments, and a modern twist on the collective’s signature dub mix, this collaboration merges styles and promises electrifying nights!
