Track of the day: ‘Dub Conquers All’ by Dub Colossus
Dub Colossus share an uplifting message of positivity, unity, joy and hope on 'Dub Conquers All', the new single from forthcoming Real World X release, Dub Will Keep Us Together.
This song is a distillation of the Dub Colossus spirit. In a world that seems to be being consumed by hatred and division, this is the antidote. Music crosses borders, boundaries and divisions to bring people together.
This song takes myriad influences and fuses them together with an uplifting message of positivity, unity, joy and hope: ‘Dub Conquers All’. The single features the late, great Nick Page on multiple instruments including the Ethiopian lyre or ‘krar’, with George Riley on vocals.
Dub Will Keep Us Together was co-produced by Nick Page, Toby Mills and Nick’s life partner, Cristina Moran aka Dubulette. It reflects on collective understanding as a resistance to the global forces shaping our societies — a shared struggle for justice, bound together by love. Themes of unification, diversity and cultural inclusivity permeate the album’s vocals and timeless rhythms.
Throughout his life, Nick Page was known for uniting musicians and singers from across the globe to produce timeless world-class global fusion. ‘Dub Will Keep Us Together’ is his last indelible musical stamp on the world, produced with friends from across great cultural divides to create music sans borders.
The album Dub Will Keep Us Together will be released through Real World X on 6 March 2026.
