Music Talk 078 - Interviewing Barry Ashworth (Dub Pistols)

Author: Grahame Farmer November 21, 2023 Duration: 1:28:53

I’m excited today, as we welcome Legendary party-starters Dub Pistols to the stream who have released their new album Frontline via Cyclone Records. This notorious touring band are bringing the summer atmosphere with their infamous blend of dub, hiphop, ska and jungle whilst incorporating classic reggae subjects and themes. Featuring artists such as Ragga Twins, Natty Campbell, Freestylers and Cheshire Cat, the album is living proof that Dub Pistols are the true masters of their craft. The multi-cultural collective has involved dozens of artists and musicians over the years — some remaining for years, a few for the duration, and others just popping in for a guest appearance. Their sound has accordingly morphed a variety of times since their inception: taking in dub, punk, jungle, ska, breakbeat, hip-hop and a whole lot more, it’s been a long road travelled. Dub pistols are still a force to be reckoned with and I’m very excited to welcome Barry Ashworth welcome to my Twitch channel! If you want to learn how to become a successful DJ & producer, how to DJ for the biggest brands, run your own events and festivals then this video will give you a wealth of insights into how to do just that!
