Dubmatix is continually evolving his style, taking new influences on board on each new recording; by now it simply doesn’t do justice to the incredible breadth of his work to slap a ‘dub’ sticker on it. 

"...collaborations see him effortlessly incorporating all conceivable facets of reggae and dub with a striking self-assurance and combining them with an exceptional willingness to experiment and take new directions."

This kaleidoscope of variety is particularly in force of his upcoming brand new album. As well as working as a musician and producer, Jesse King is also a sought-after remixer and app designer, with recent remixes including tracks for the Easy Star All-Stars, John Brown's Body, Zion Train, Martha & The Muffins, Don Letts and Mungo’s HiFi. 

For his new album he spent 2 years in the past and a lot of time in tweaking the knobs on high class Roots Tunes inna crossover style…! 
SOUND CLOUD REVIEW DEC 2014

A sound-changing artist and an impervious celebrity, Aston Martin Piff began his career as a preteen delivering smooth R&B - but through years of maturation and reinventing the mixtape game, he has developed into a versatile rapper with a massive body of work. One so inventive and creative that it makes his famous claim of being the "Prince of New England" worth considering.

Born Michael Dejion Wilder and raised in the infamous Dorchester neighborhood of Boston, he was not a straight-A student but never felt his intelligence couldnt expand so it became more then a report card. He found music was the best way to express himself and after taking on the street names 'Yung Star', then 'Yung Piff', he began writing rhymes. Combining a strong work ethic with aggressive self-promotion, the 16-year-old convinced the Math Line Records label to take him on, with in-house producer, Square Route, the 1999 album Yung Azmar was set to be released, but Aston then found himself on a dark road in the gang life. He was shot in the torso during the killing of a best friend, pushing back and finally deciding to never release the album.

Aston' eventually dropped the street life and street names ' Piff , 'Yung Piff' and 'Yung Star', in order to separate himself from the others in New England and to began to create a new image based on the maturation he now felt he empowered.

In 2002, Aston would appear on Boston's R&B Princess Rose's hit single Meet Me, as it appeared on Rose's album. As a result, Aston was then signed to a group deal with the group "The Funk B's", also known as "Marky Mark And The Funky Bunch" featuring the hit single track, 4 Seasons. Aston continued working with Scott Ross, as he was trying to launch their career. Aston grew much closer to Scotts fellow producer for the album, "D Sharp". When Aston realized that the "Funky Bunch" was not taking off in the direction he had hoped, he left the label and returned to CBM Music Group as CEO. CBM Music Group is a label in which Aston began with then partner, "Free", in 2000. By 2010 Aston had released a mixtape entitled Piff the Magic dragon, which many have referred to as "One of Mr. Astons best projects."

Aston became enamored with the mixtape world after Piff the Magic Dragon Hosted by DJ Jack Frost drew so much attention from the local hip-hop crowd. He uses these underground releases to drum up anticipation for his first official album, the breakthrough effort Love HitchHike. The album having different production on it, and the rhymes he laid on the tracks showed significant growth. His marketing skills had become sharper, too, and it was no mistake that the album's a hit. Supported by popular DJ's such as DJ Jack Frost and DJ Hussle Simmons from Boston's Jamn' 94.5 & 96.9, DJ Tone Rock from P. Diddy's Ciroc Boys out of Miami. Astons' tracks began to make their way into clubs and on radio stations up and down the East Coast.

Currently Aston is working on finishing up to release his first independent album Love HitchHike. In the mean time he can also be found working on a couple LP's entitled, Karma Sutra & I.S.S ( I Solemnly Swear ) where he shows both sides of his Libra scale. In Astons' downtime he can be found helping fellow local artists "find themselves" in the music world by daily coaching and positive words of praise to encourage all to follow their dreams and never give up.



Schon als Teenager machte er sich auf, um die einzigartigen Vibes der Karibikinsel Jamaika aufzusaugen.
Er hat Jamaika und die Kultur mit großem Respekt aufgenommen und den direkten Draht zu den Menschen dort gesucht – genau das macht diesen Künstler aus. Nach über 1000 Konzerten rund um den Globus ist es immer diese verbindende Energie, die ihn als Künstler ausmacht – der direkte Draht zu den Menschen. Spätestens seit seiner Hitsingle „Intoxication“, die in der Karibik den Sommer 2004 musikalisch geprägt hatte, gehört er zur absoluten Top Riege der internationalen Reggae Gemeinschaft und Festivallandschaft.
In über 25 Jahren entstanden dabei über 100 Kollaborationen mit Top Stars wie: Shaggy, Sean Paul, Marcia Griffiths, Tanya Stephens, Ky-Mani Marley, Christopher Martin, um nur einige Jamaikaner aufzuzählen. Auch in den USA hat Gentleman mit einigen Stars zusammengearbeitet: Aloe Blacc, Pink, Destiny´s Child, SOJA, Michael Franti uvam.
Selbst in unseren Breitengraden ist die Liste lang und bekannt: Freundeskreis, Udo Lindenberg, Die Toten Hosen, Michael Patrick Kelly, Beginner uvam.
Gentleman veröffentlichte über 12 Alben mit 4 Gold- und einer Platinauszeichnung. Darunter mittlerweile Genre-Klassiker wie „Journey to Jah“, „Confidence“ oder das großartige „MTV Unplugged“. 
Zusammenfassend kann man dem Reggae Connaisseur und Autor Ulli Güldner nur zustimmen, in dem er Gentleman als „bis heute ersten & einzigen Reggae-A-List-Ambassador dieses Landes“ tituliert.
