Sumac Dub

Sumac Dub, a rising star of the French dub scene, returns to Paris for a highly anticipated series of concerts. Prepare for an immersion in enchanting sounds and deep rhythms at La Maroquinerie.

Sumac Dub, a project initiated by Parisian producer and musician Raphaël Perez, has established itself as a major player in French dub since the early 2010s. His approach is distinguished by a skilful fusion of the Jamaican roots of dub with more contemporary influences, sometimes drawing from electro or ethnic atmospheres. The project has developed its own unique sound identity, characterised by hypnotic basslines, ethereal synthesiser pads and organic percussion, all enriched by the reverb and delay effects that are the genre's signature.

Over the years, Sumac Dub has built a coherent and appreciated discography, with albums such as « Le Serpent Rouge  » and « La Source  » making a lasting impression. These works demonstrate a constant quest for sonic experimentation, while maintaining melodic accessibility. Raphaël Perez, often accompanied on stage by other musicians, has created a universe where dreaminess coexists with rhythmic power, inviting the listener on a true inner journey. His ability to create atmospheres that are both meditative and captivating is one of the keys to his success.

Sumac Dub's live reputation is well established. The project is renowned for its immersive live performances, where the sound is crafted with great precision.
