Dub Sonata is a Hip Hop producer from New York City. Also known for photography work later in his career, Dub’s earliest music credits include production for Double A.B., Dom Pachino & QB veteran Nature. His ’07 debut album On The Arm garnered praise from outlets like URB Magazine who named Dub part of their Next 1000, stating "Dub Sonata sounds like he was schooled by both DJ Premier and Three 6 Mafia — soul samples on one track, stomping drums and alarms on the next." The art of sampling spawned his expansive vinyl collection, among it rarities the globe-trotting producer dug up on five different continents. Following a 2010 trip to Cuba, Dub returned home with a crate of records that became the source samples for his critically acclaimed instrumental project Nights In Cuba, which Okayplayer hailed “relevant musically as it is politically.” Chronogram called it "an orgy of genre and influence that Lee "Scratch" Perry would revel in." Dub’s 2012 album Media Shower with Double A.B. highlights collaborations with Roc Marciano, Evidence, Scram Jones and Sean Price. Notable production credits include Sage Francis’ "Once Upon A Blood Moon," Jidenna's "Feng Shui," Rhymefest & Queen Latifah's "Goin In," and songs by Sadat X, Cannibal Ox, Recognize Ali, Nickelus F and Guilty Simpson. Recent work includes the conceptual Animal Barz EP with Nejma Nefertiti & Double A.B., and the upcoming Break The Stereo LP with Muja Messiah, featuring Atmosphere's Slug, Tragedy Khadafi & more.
