Benjamin Stanford aka Dub Fx started five years ago, on the street, with a microphone, a loop station, courage, and heaps of talent. When a friend put a video on YouTube, it went viral and the Australian beat boxer soon started touring the streets of the world. It is incredible what this young man can produce with a microphone using his only instrument: his voice.
Dub FX: Theory of Harmony
CD | Dub FX ●●
Theory of Harmony electro (Convoy Unlimited)
His success has already taken Stanford to numerous festivals and concert halls, but in between he still likes to make time for where it all started: the street. On his third album, Theory of Harmony, we hear great dub, broken beats, some hip hop, drum ‘n’ bass, and dubstep, as well as poppy tunes and house beats that are just slightly too easy. Dub Fx has clearly opted for broad appeal with a fairly commercial sounding album. The album is very strong on beats, but the vocals are just too poppy. The various guests do nothing to remedy the situation, with the exception of the surprising Indian singing on “The Sky”, a drum ‘n’ bass track that also has impressive rap and tabla (Indian percussion). We would have liked to hear Dub Fx rap more. We’re curious to see how he’ll perform it live.
