Dub FX is Benjamin Stanford, born in St Kilda, Melbourne, in 1983, and he learned his trade the loud way, fronting a local rapcore outfit called Twitch, later renamed N.O.N (Never or Now), who managed one album, Exeunt Omnes, in 2004. Soon after, he packed up for Italy and went it alone.
Going it alone, for him, means a one-man orchestra built on the spot: his voice, a looper and a rack of effects pedals, layering vocal beats, bass lines and melodies into hip hop, reggae and drum and bass grooves that sound like a whole crew is on stage. He took the act to the streets of the world and made busking look like a headline slot. Among his early recordings is "Tell Me What You Want", from 2005.
