  • A Town Called Addis

    Dub Colossus

    Released 12 October 2008

    Dub Colossus collaborate with some of Ethiopia's finest performers. Utilising Azmari and traditional styles as well as the popular singing styles of the 60s and 70s the album seeks to combine the golden years of Ethiopique beats and Ethiojazz with the dub reggae styles of early 70s groups like the Abyssinians and the Mighty Diamonds.
  • Dub Me Tender

    Dub Colossus

    Released 06 February 2012

    By reworking existing Dub Colossus album cuts and including four previously unreleased tracks, Nick Page – aka Dubulah, takes a more personal approach to the band’s material and delivers a dub-heavy set in the tradition of Joe Gibbs' African Dub series and Dennis "Blackbeard" Bovell.
