Dub Princess & Hot Steppas
With this powerful collaboration in full swing, 2025 is shaping up to be a landmark year for Dub Princess and Hotsteppas. The duo have a string of exciting releases lined up, beginning with a brand new single dropping in May, complete with a heavyweight dub mix from the legendary Nick Manasseh. June will see the release of a genre-defying EP, weaving Indian classical influences into a deep dub foundation, featuring the talented Atilla Manju. Then, in October, fans can look forward to another highly anticipated EP—an exploration of roots and future sounds—which will be accompanied by a celebratory tour across the UK and Europe. Each release showcases their evolving sound and commitment to pushing boundaries, while staying rooted in the conscious messages that have always been at the heart of their music.
In addition to her work with Hotsteppas, Dub Princess continues to carve her path as a prolific solo artist with a steady flow of collaborations set to drop throughout the year. Teaming up once again with long-time musical allies, she has a string of fresh releases in the pipeline that showcase her versatility and deep connection to the global bass and conscious music scene.
Expect soulful, sun-drenched vibes with producer Isaac Chambers, whose lush, downtempo grooves provide the perfect backdrop for her reflective lyricism. She also reunites with Illiterate for a series of tracks that blend jazzy beats, lo-fi textures, and laid-back fire, highlighting her smooth vocal agility and conscious wordplay. A new project with Blue Zone Hifi taps into heavyweight dub and sound system culture, delivering raw energy and deep, sub-driven rhythms. And later in the year, a vibrant collaboration with Nikau Te Huki will bring a fusion of Māori soul, roots reggae, and earthy electronic elements—reflecting both artists’ commitment to cultural storytelling and spiritual connection through music.
Each release adds a new layer to Dub Princess’s ever-evolving soundscape, reinforcing her position as a powerful voice in the international underground scene and a bridge between genres, cultures, and communities.

Common Unity Sound System
Common Unity is a sound system collective based in Newcastle Upon Tyne. They play music with a message, a bass heavy journey paying tribute to Jamaican roots reggae through to raw UK dub and beyond in a traditional sound system style.
//
Born in 2014 from the desire to create dedicated spaces for reggae music on Tyneside, the system transformed from catering the energy of the UK drum and bass rave scene, going backwards in musical foundations to be a sound system rooted in dub.
From then, until now, the sound not only provides a platform for themselves to play, but also to expose the people of the city to new music and artists with sessions at the Newcastle Dub Club.
