Salmonella Dub - Shaping Ground

Watching It Rain

We welcome a collaboration that embodies the cosmic balance between earthly grounding and nocturnal transformation. Kora (@kora-musique) and Oiseau de nuit (@odnmusique) unite as Hiboux (owls).

This marks a significant moment where Phases Musique and Saisons Musique (@saisonsmusique) intersect. But beyond the convergence of two collectives lies a deeper story — one of mentorship, friendship, and shared musical evolution. When Oiseau de nuit took his first steps in music making back in 2015, it was Kora who guided his way. Their collaboration within Saisons Musique has been a long-standing journey, and Hiboux represents not just a meeting of two artists, but the culmination of years of creative dialogue and mutual inspiration.

Together, they channel the supermoon’s energy — that delicate tension between holding on and letting go, between stability and metamorphosis.

Like the owls that navigate at darkness with precision and grace, this release moves through shadow and light with intention. Hiboux carries this medicine forward. Downtempo rhythms that root you to the earth while organic textures invite transformation.

Kora brings it’s traveler’s compass, guiding us through diverse sounds and stimulating flutes textures where acoustic and electronic worlds collide. Oiseau de nuit contributes the deep, contemplative groove essence. The result is a sonic ceremony — patient, purposeful, and filled with the possibility.

It’s a music for the hours when the world sleeps but the spirit awakens.

We hope you enjoy it as much as we do ⏾.

Salmonella Dub began in 1992 crafting their name from the “bad-taste” dub cover versions of songs they used to break the ice amongst their original tracks in their early sets. In ’90s New Zealand, dub/roots/reggae freak-outs weren’t entirely in vogue — grunge and dance music held sway — so Salmonella Dub would use lighthearted covers of Nancy Sinatra, The Orb’s Little fluffy Clouds, plus Public Enemy and Fred Dagg’s “Larry Loves Barry” to win over skeptical audiences.

In the early ’90s, New Zealand’s liquor licensing laws changed, allowing pubs and clubs to stay open late and revitalizing the country’s live music scene. Members of the band then called Golf Course Alligators seized this opportunity and, in late 1992, Andrew Penman (guitar), Mark Tyler (bass), and Dave Deakins (drums) became Salmonella Dub. In the early days they lacked money for a sampler and used DIY solutions by hooking up an on/off foot pedal to the motor of a cassette player in order to drop samples by foot in real time from tape on stage. These samples would come from whatever was on the TV at the time, whether it was the news or a Cheech & Chong movie. Lacking the funds for cassettes, they raided the bins of a record store and found discarded copies of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles albums that served as their early tape stock.

To prepare for their first, self-titled album in 1994, Peter Wood (trumpet, keyboard) and Conan Wilcox (saxophone, percussion) were invited to join the band. Salmonella Dub was released through the independent label Curious Records. Following quickly from this album the band released Dub Tomfoolery a 7 track EP with mixing contributions from Mike Hodgson of Pitchblack.

Soon afterwards, Wood left the band, moving to Auckland and getting a job to pay his student overdraft. Around this time Penman made contact with David Harrow (ONU sound) through Grant Fell of the Headless Chickens. Harrow was employed to work on their next EP THC Winter the band’s first foray into Jungle and DnB in 1995.
