Dreadzone - Announce their 'Sound' UK tour!!!

90's sensations Dreadzone hit the road again!

Dreadzone formed in 1993 when the former Big Audio Dynamite rhythm section; drummer Greg ‘Dread’ Roberts and bassist Leo Williams teamed up with musician, producer and mixer Tim Bran. Throughout the 1990’'s Dreadzone had continually remixed itself; chopping and changing members and record labels... including stints on both Virgin and Alan McGee’'s Creation. Greg and Tim decided to approach the new millennium with a fresh idea in the form of the Dubwiser club night at the Notting Hill arts club.

They channeled their energy into club nights that fused Dub and Reggae with contemporary beats to create the perfect soundtrack for people from different planets. This proved a fertile musical playground which had an immediate impact on the Dreadzone mindset, and it was in this climate, helped by their new ‘Dread Central’ studio complex... the band would create 'Sound' which was released on Ruff Life in 2001.

Written and evolved over a two-year period, 'Sound' features contributions from Don Letts, Earl 16, Aswad’s Brinsley Forde and MC Det. As this re-issue demonstrates, the album as a whole sounds as fresh and vibrant today as it did upon release. Indeed, tracks such as Digital Mastermind and Dread’pon Sound have now reached ‘classic’ status, becoming entrenched favourites in the Dreadzone live show. It it is also notable for the first appearance of a certain MC Spee on opener 'Return of the Dread'. 

Dreadzone are still going strong after over twenty years in the game with core members Greg Dread, Leo Williams, MC Spee and legendary reggae vocalist Earl 16 alongside Chris Compton on guitar and Bazil. This re-issue is being accompanied by an extensive set of tour and festival performances.
