The last Dub Colossus recording with Nick Page out on Real World X in Spring 2026

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.

As Dubulette describes the completion of the album seemed the best way to honour his life, his work and musical family: “We were remembering the good times touring with Dub Colossus and how Nick was an easy and open-minded band leader…as Nick used to say for the love of music. We all miss him in different ways and intensities, and this is dedicated to his life, our lives shared with him.”

The power of creating atmospheric global fusion outside the confines of borders will always be part of Nick’s musical legacy. Exciting rhythms fuse with traditional sounds, dub sirens and striking warm vocals to re-create the Dub Colossus sounds. Nick Page’s signature humour pervades the album as on ’24 Carat Dub Affair’ and ‘And The Gods Made Dub’.

Original singers and musical heavyweights from Nick’s collective Dub Colossus feature on Dub Will Keep Up Together such as the incredible Ethiopian vocalist Mimi Zenebe, London saxophonist and flautist, Ben Somers, and British ground-breaking percussionist, Paul Chivers.

Great musical friends join bassist and percussionist Toby Mills and Nick Page on Dub Will Keep Us Together. These include global fusion giants Transglobal Underground’s Tim Whelan on keyboards, Hamid Mantu on drums.

Guest vocalist spots including leading London Latino vocalist Holly Holden, George Riley, Mykaell Riley and Amara & Ollie Mills. Dubulette also features as a guest vocalist and as co-producer with Nick Page and Toby Mills, says this of the project: “This is an eclectic album with some new members alongside some of the old ones. Mimi from Ethiopia is back, and like her country, it’s a compendium of different rhythms and influences, showing the path the band has taken since its beginnings in 2008. Dub Will Keep Us Together talks of the understanding of the collective as the counteraction to international events which are shaping our societies and minds, a fight for justice. Love will keep us together.”

Co- producer Toby Mills says of the album: “Of course, there is playfulness and puns, but there is a reflection on the times we live in: the world seems to be spinning out of control, and those with evil intent are on the rise. But we mustn’t give up hope (keep the faith, chuck!). Humanity is not doomed, but we must stand up and fight for what is right. Climate change. Inequality rising exponentially. Wars are on the rise. Corruption is rife, and capitalism seems to be failing us. It can feel overwhelming, that we are on a bad path, but it can be turned around. In a fast-changing world, we need more dub.”

Real World Records has been the sonic home for many of Nicks recordings since Temple Of Sound & Rizwan-Muazzam Qawwali’s Peoples Colony No 1 in 2001. A generation of releases included Dub Colossus’ A Town Called Addis, Addis Through The Looking Glass and Dub Me Tender, Vol. 1 & 2. The last release on Real World was the 2018 EP A Spy In The House Of Dub and now in 2026, Dub Will Keep Us Together will be the last recording for Dub Colossus with Nick Page.

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 first single We Stand releases on the 16 January 2026. The album Dub Will Keep Us Together will be released through Real World X on 6 March 2026.
