Rob Smith, the Bristol bass pioneer with Wild Bunch & Massive Attack, returns to Sapporo after 6 years!
Rob Smith — the living legend who, alongside Wild Bunch and Massive Attack, has steered Bristol’s bass music to the world.
Through his work as Smith & Mighty, More Rockers, Blue & Red, and RSD, he has pioneered the very core of UK bass culture — from dub and breakbeats to jungle, 2-step, and dubstep.
Since his first Sapporo appearance at the open-air festival Magical Camp in the summer of 2009, followed by three invitations to the Voice of Dub series, this marks his fifth time in the city.
And now, for the first time at Precious Hall, we’ll witness how his razor-edged sonics collide with one of the most pristine multi-stack sound systems on the planet.
From the local front, dub unit hem brings keys, percussion, laptop, and live dubwise into a uniquely evolving performance.
Late autumn in Sapporo: a pitch-black dancefloor drenched in Bristol sound, dub breaks ricocheting through space, and the deepest basslines intertwining.
This is a night to experience with your whole body.
