Dubtopia 15 years in ZW

Description

Dubtopia is going into its 15th year, and we are celebrating round 2 of 3, this time at Zentralwäscherei in Zurich. Based at Dachstock in Reitschule, Dubtopia draws audiences from all over Switzerland and beyond as the longest-running Dub & Dubstep session — always with a soundsystem and no compromise! Some might remember that Dubtopia was in Zurich back in 2013 at the ABS squat in Labitzke-Areal, and it's a fond memory. Let's wheel forward to the present: this is our 30th session, and we are running at a high pace, delivering the weight and the vibe twice a year, alongside operating the record labels. Over the years, we've had many key figures of the scene: from Mala to Pinch, from Sicaria Sound to Darwin, from Commodo to Kahn, and from Vivek to Om Unit, just to name a few. This session shines bright with OJOO hailing from Belgium. Seeing them at festivals this summer, they completely hit the nail on the head with her impeccable energy and thoughtful selection, always keeping the dubwise ethos afloat. Flanked by local vibe researcher CRI, who has proved to bring all elements for an engaged dancefloor regardless of genre boundaries, and the hosts and soul of Dubtopia, phrex & Cutkachi, who'll be playing a very rare back-to-back set with timeless sonic goodies from the last 20 years of dubstep history. Warming up the space with foundation sound and steppers is the soundsystem-provider: Redubtion Soundsystem. They didn't just build one of the heaviest dub-soundsystems in Switzerland; they are also able to set the tone for the night with an expertise and profoundness in the past and present of Dub, Roots, and Steppers. Is it over yet? No, it isn't! In KW, Send/Return Soundsystem will provide the Speakerstacks for a diverse selection of DJs playing beyond strict dancefloor mechanisms. First diving into a wider spectrum of dubwiseness by Timnah, one of the most poignant and profound DJs in the game for well over two decades. Taking it from there, Chewlie, whose hyper-emotive soundscapes run deep, will make you feel all fuzzy before Send/Return Soundsystem, hailing from Basel and providing the speaker stacks, have made themselves a name with an ever-evolving culture of supportive sound-empowerement and on-point selection JABY, usually playing hypereclectic sets combining a wide variety of Afrocentric music, will showcase the calmer, more introspective side of her selection. Closing KW are the legends who brought dubstep to the center of attention in Zurich back in the late 2000s / early 2010s. Still unforgotten: their seminal Dubexmachina nights at Cl
