wizard-d Thankyou so much for this beautiful coming together of musics. My life took a dark turn 8 years ago and I’ve been trying to get back since, strangely 3 days ago I woke up and there was my energy with no warning like meeting an old friend after a long time apart. Shortly after I picked up my phone and your music started playing, I never heard of you before, grateful to have now though, thanks for an excellent collaboration, I’ve picked my fiddle up again and I’m dancing along 🙏

about

Future Dub From Ancient Scotland
Legend has it , that two musicians were taken awa’ by the faeries to play for them at their ceilidh dance .. When the pair returned hame, naebody believed where they had been! All they had to prove it was a new collection of otherworldly tunes they had learned…

These very same tunes are now available on a beautifully designed 12” Vinyl and for digital download!

An Dannsa Dub (The Dub Dance in Gaelic) is the brainchild of dub producer / singer Tom Spirals and Scottish traditional musician Euan McLaughlin. It fuses the mystic energy and instruments of traditional Gaelic songs with the heavy, meditative, driving basslines of dub music. Spiral’s and Mclaughlin have created a project that shines a light on the magic of traditional Scottish culture and stands up loud & proud in the soundsystem arena.

The project began after the pair met at Glasgow’s infamous Walk n Skank dub nights and decided to try and combine their styles on a track . After hearing the fiery potential of the combination it was very quickly decided that this was going to be much bigger than just one song. A year later and the project is ready to be unveiled..

The concept behind the EP is based on an old Scottish story from the Orkney Islands, re-written by Tom Spirals and narrated by renowned storyteller Gillian Macdonald on the first track of the EP. The tale has also been brought to life as a music video , shot in stunning scottish locations including ‘The Crawick Multiverse’ , and features breathtaking dance choreography from Sanchez & Rigg aswell as a performance and vocals from Gaelic singer of the Year Ellen Macdonald .
‘An Dannsa Dub’ has been developed as a full live show and will be on tour in 2022 featuring an all star line-up of Scottish Trad and Uk Dub musicians .
