After a five-year absence, Dub Mission is very proud to welcome back one of Europe's finest purveyors of dub, Zion Train, to the Bay Area.
Dub/Dance pioneers ZION TRAIN have been undisputed leaders in the genre for more than two decades. One of the finest live dub acts in the world, ZT are pioneers in the practice of dynamic onstage dub mixing, which the band performs alongside acoustic instruments and the best live vocalists. One of the finest purveyors of roots reggae music, ZT has also been heavily involved in alternative and DIY underground culture since the ‘90s.
ZT was founded in 1990 by Dub master/electronics controller NEIL PERCH who is also the owner and administrator of the Universal Egg and Deep Root record labels, the Abassi Hi Power sound system, and the ZT studio in Koln, Germany. Graduating from Oxford University with a first class BA and then an MA in Biochemistry, Perch has given lectures on music and politics at the University Of Mexico City as well as being the inaugural speaker at the Rototom Sunsplash 'Reggae University' and giving music workshops at the famous Ostroda reggae festival in Poland. Neil’s extensive songwriting, production and remix credits include Gentleman, UB40, Luciano, Beenie Man, Earl 16, Jack Radics, Gregory Isaacs, Alton Ellis, Markus Stockhausen, Robert Miles, Patrice, Cashma Hoody, Prince Allah, Chumbawamba, Rootsman, Afro-Celt Sound System, Dub Syndicate, Junior Reid, The Ruts DC, Muslimgause, The Tassilli Players and The Power Steppers. He has also contributed songs to various soundtracks, including Venice Film Festival winner, Antonio Boccola’s film ‘Fame Chimica.’ Along with a mammoth recorded output and innumerable production credits, remixes and songwriting collaborations, ZT has produced magazines, CD-ROMs, Internet sites and built sound systems. The band’s early releases were on its own Universal Egg label, until 1995 when it band signed to China Records. ZT released the world's first promotional dub music video for the 'Get Ready' single and caused a furor with the publicity campaign for its ‘Homegrown Fantasy’ album. Back on its own Universal Egg label since 1999, ZT has continued to release quality dub, electronica and world dance music. In 2007, the band released its long awaited ninth album, Live as One which was awarded a Jamaican Reggae Grammy for ‘Best Dub Album.’ Incredibly well-received, the album featured vocals from Earl 16, Tippa Irie, Dubdadda, YT, Marlene Johnson, Raiz and Lua, and was followed two years later by the Live as One Remixed album, which involved producers from Poland, Crete, Brazil, Mexico, Croatia, France, Italy and the U.K.
State of Mind is the first original ZT album to be released since the Grammy winning 'Live As One'. The band's staple ingredients of brass, bass, dubwise rhythms and hard electronic beats are combined with new additions of violin, viola and dub poetry, making State of Mind a step forward for the ZT. Featured artists include Brinsley Forde of Aswad alongside ZT’s own Dubdadda and Lua, not to mention the up and coming Jamaican Dub Poetess Jazzmin Tutum. The album was previewed with the single, 'Rainbow Children', an update of the Aswad classic with Brinsley Forde joining Dubdadda on vocals.
