OUR BIO IN SHORT

R. esistence in Dub’s project was born in Udine on 2006, aiming at putting together the soundsystem culture and the Friulian language. This target was reached by means of the album “Avampuest Dub” in 2008. It was followed by the separation from Mc Tubet and a cooperation with different artists — both national and foreigners (Paolo Baldini, Rankin Joe, Lutan Fayah....) — plus the issue of “Dubplate Style 2011///2013” cd and the production of a brand new vinyl. New works in progress...can’t stop the revolution, can’t stop dub!
R.esistence in Dub are: ToFFo Selektah (dubmaster), Zen-I (synth & trumpet), Dc.P.E. (sax & melodica), Ste’Pit (bass)

BIO ITA:
R.esistence in Dub nasce nel 2006 a Udine (Friuli Venezia Giulia) dall'unione di 4 musicisti:
Toffo Selektah (dubmaster), Zen I (tromba & synths), Doctor P.E. (sax & melodica) e Mc Tubet (vocals).
Fin da subito è stata chiara in noi l'intenzione di portare avanti la cultura del soundsystem nella nostra maniera e di creare quindi un nostro stile.
La R puntata del nostro nome sta per “rivoluzionarie”: dal nostro punto di vista non può esserci esistenza che non sia rivoluzionaria. Se questa stessa esistenza incontra sul suo cammino la reggae music e sopratutto la dub culture, allora noi siamo “Le rivoluzionarie esistenze in Dub”-R.Esistence in Dub!!!
L’obiettivo era quello di diffondere il soundsystem style, ma nella nostra maniera che doveva diventare inequivocabile, con produzioni proprie e live show integrati di mixer board per il dub, fiati, sintetizzatori e un mc che cantava nella nostra lingua d’origine: il Friulano. Per noi all'inizio era davvero importante comunicare con la nostra gente e grazie alla musica abbiamo avuto la possibilità di far conoscere la nostra lingua e la nostra terra anche fuori dai confini regionali. Essere riusciti a far sì che il dub fosse il mezzo di comunicazione per tale fine è stata la soddisfazione maggiore. Ne siamo tutt'ora orgogliosi, anche se da un paio di anni ci siamo divisi da Mc Tubet, il quale era il motore linguistico del gruppo. Superato il momento iniziale dello split, ci siamo rimessi in carreggiata e abbiamo cominciato a collaborare con svariati musicisti e cantanti, tra cui Paolo Baldini come nostro produttore (Africa Unite, Br Stylers, al nostro fianco sin dall'inizio) e il nostro recente acquisto in famiglia, Ste’Pit al basso.
Il nostro ultimo lavoro si intitola ”Dubplate style: 2011///2013" ed è il risultato di 2 anni di lavoro durante i quali è avvenuta la separazione dal nostro ex cantante. Ciò ha dato però la possibilità di proporre un 10" in tiratura limitata di 450 copie, con la partecipazione di Lutan Fyah e Rankin Joe, contenente 2 inediti sullo stesso riddim, sia in chiave one drop che in chiave stepper. Visto il successo avuto grazie al vinile, abbiamo pensato di far uscire in formato esclusivamente digitale questo ultimo nostro lavoro che vede le importanti partecipazioni di General Levy, Ras Tweed e ancora una volta Rankin Joe, tre cantanti che stimiamo molto e con cui è stato un piacere collaborare.
Questo è R.Esistence in dub: ToFFo Selektah ( dubmaster) Zen-I ( tromba e sintetizzatori) Dr. P.E. ( sax e melodica) Ste’Pit ( basso).

(Xana Romeo)
  Xana Romeo has emerged in this time as a prolific reggae siren with a powerful and distinctive message that resonates strongly among her generation of revolutionary youth. Awakening the senses with the contrast of her soothing melodies and energetic instrumentation, Xana flutters soulfully atop cool dub rhythms and electrifies the beat with potent lyrics that energise hearts and minds.
 
Born Azana Makeda Smith on August 26, 1994 in the historic Kingston community of Greenwich Town, Xana Romeo is a singer in possession of a voice and alluring presence as captivating as her mythical name.
 
The young reggae siren’s musical education began at a tender age under the keen eyes and ears of her father, veteran Reggae singer Max Romeo, a wise teacher who encouraged his youngest daughter at every step along her natural progression.  “I look up to my dad as an idol in the music business as he's the one who inspired me to do music for the people”, Xana says. After years of patient development this child of the music stands poised to share her signature vocal stylings with the world.  Faithfully advancing along her musical path, Xana’s steady rise as a Roots, Dub, and Reggae artiste has been attracting positive attention from music lovers across the globe. Her talents extend beyond singing to also include song writing and the visual arts. This commitment to multi-dimensional creativity and self-sustainment stems from the example set by her father.
 
 “Given what I know of his substantial musical catalogue as well as his way of life, I can say from my heart he lives a life that one can model. His philosophy and ‘livity’ is close to the teachings of His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia, and this gives inspiration along my own journey.” 
 
Having grown in her musical expression as singer, composer, and arranger, and after years of gaining exposure from touring successfully with her family, Xana Romeo is now ready to share her music and message with all corners of the globe. 
 
 “The purpose of my music is the message. When someone listens to Xana Romeo's songs I want them to feel inspired and motivated to carry out any personal self-cleansing by the renewal of their minds.”
 
With a stream of impressive live performances and the release of several standout singles over the years including ‘Rate Rasta’, and ‘Righteous Path (Our Father)’, 2016 saw the release of ‘Mercy Please’, the first three (3) singles from her debut album.
 
True to its reggae roots, the powerfully delivered message music from her upcoming ‘Wake Up’ project pulsates from the speakers, and is already creating tremendous excitement for the album’s November 2016 release date.   As we observe Xana Romeo’s steady rise from the pool of rich musical talent found in Jamaica, we can see the increasing momentum of her journey as well as the growth of her gift as a storyteller. Her music stands as testament to the resilience of the divine feminine spirit and the importance for this energy to be shared throughout the world.
 
There is much to look forward to and many more stories to be told by this enchanting songstress. Journey with her along her musical mission
