Dr Das
Dr Das is a bassist, performer, composer, producer, remixer and programmer.
He is one of the founder members of Asian Dub Foundation (ADF) where he established his reputation for playing deep, melodic and cyclical basslines.
Since 2006, he has returned to his roots in experimental dub. His sound, combining dub with noise takes its inspiration from the distorted rhythms of Muslimgauze, the percussive minimalism of 23 Skidoo and the dark funk-noise grooves of 70s Miles Davis. The work of Scientist and earlier more abstract On-U Sound recordings are also an inspiration as well as the more recent sound of Rhythm & Sound and UR/Intersteller Fugitives.
The current live show is a core trio of Dr Das on live bass, Bantu (Gary Stewart) on live electronics, noise and dubbing and Ramjac on percussion and dubsynth.
