Dub Silence (France)
Updated: Jun 26
Dub Silence is a six-piece reggae, dub, and hip-hop group from the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France, built around a trio of vocalists, Clément, Augustin, and Mehdi, who started making music together in 2013. The group began releasing homemade recordings online, including a reggae arrangement of a Cypress Hill track that accumulated over a million views on YouTube and helped spread their name across France. After years of regional gigging, they crowdfunded their debut album Anomalie (2019), which featured a collaboration with French reggae artist Naâman, and followed it with the instrumental dub EP Yggdrazil (2021) and their second album Equinoxe (2023).
Featured Song:
“On va le faire” (We’re Going to Do It) is a rallying anthem from Equinoxe, addressed to everyone who keeps pushing despite obstacles: workers who never rest, young people who have left school, single mothers, immigrants who didn’t make it across the sea. The song builds verse by verse into something close to a collective declaration, carrying the energy of French reggae’s long tradition of socially engaged music: “For all the dreamers who still believe in their dreams / For all the hard workers who never take a break / Man, we’re going to do it.”
