DUB MISSION--a weekly Sunday night party at Elbo Room--was started in September of 1996 as an alternative to the typical reggae night. The idea was to present the more cutting-edge side of the music (i.e. all forms of dub and progressive roots) that had not been heard much in Bay Area clubs until then. Luckily this period of time has also coincided with a great resurgence of interest in dub through onstage performances and re-issues. Since 1996 we have presented special nights on various reggae greats including Bob Marley, Lee Perry, King Tubby, and Prince Far I, to name a few. Artists and DJs from all over the world and the U.S. have also performed at DUB MISSION. A partial list includes Adrian Sherwood & the ON-U Sound System, Mad Professor & the Ariwa Sound System, the Scientist, Twilight Circus Dub Sound System, Groove Corporation aka Overproof Sound System, Florian Seyberth of Boozoo Bajou, Tino Corp feat. Jack Dangers & Ben Stokes, Dr. Israel & Dreadtone International, Dubblestandart, Pitch Black, Sasha & Zeb of Organic Grooves, the Wordsound posse, Trumystic Sound System, Desmond Williams, Yossi Fine of Ex-Centric Sound System, Heavyweight Dub Champion, Bigga Bush, the Bastard Jazz crew, Dub Gabriel, Third Eye Tribe, Qaballa Steppers, Systemwide, Sound Secretion, Sub Oslo and Ben Wa. In January of 1999, DUB MISSION produced legendary dubmaster the Scientist along with the all-star Devil Dub Band (Buckethead, Brain, DJ Disk, etc) at the Justice League. In April of the same year, we co-presented the first Bay Area appearance by the Blood & Fire Sound System featuring Trinity, Dillinger, Ranking Joe and selector Steve Barrow also at the Justice League . In September of 1999, DUB MISSION celebrated its third anniversary with a special dub set by house specialists, Dubtribe Sound System. In 2001 DUB MISSION celebrated its 5th anniversary with producer/ mixmaster Adrian Sherwood's On-U Sound System featuring Ghetto Priest on the mic. In 2002 DUB MISSION turned six with an unprecendeted sound system featuring the Scientist at the controls, Jah Yzer (Jah Warrior Shelter) on the mic, and the DUB MISSION resident DJs behind the turntables. In 2003 we celebrated our 7th with the first ever US appearance of Groove Corporation feat. Ras Tweed on the mic. In 2004, we celebrated our 8th anniversary with the return of Adrian Sherwood's ON-U Soundsystem and in 2005, we hosted an international dub summit with rare West Coast performances by Yossi Fine of Ex-Centric Sound System, and Cosmic Rocker & Zeb of Organic Grooves and Spy from Cairo fame. In 2006, Dub Mission turned 10 years old with a record-setting event featuring all the resident DJs and this past September, we celebrated our 11th anniversary with the debut of Subatomic Sound System with mcs JahDan and Treasure Don. We look forward to another great year of riddims and laughter.
