On sale now 🔥 @206dub & @culture_yard meet once again for a milestone session, marking three years of dubwise community. This gathering stands as a celebration of the ongoing collaboration between the two promoters, rooted in sound system tradition and carried forward through heavyweight selections. We welcome back @channelonesoundsystem for their FINAL visit to the Pacific Northwest. They stand as one of the UK’s most revered torchbearers of roots and dub culture, carrying forward a lineage grounded in Jamaican sound system tradition. Built on decades of strictly vinyl selections, heavyweight basslines, and conscious message music, their sessions are consistently high-grade and unify dance floors across the globe. Featuring Ras Sherby on the microphone, chanting, toasting, and guiding the session with a presence that bridges foundation roots with contemporary energy. Together, they deliver a living, breathing sound system tradition. On reinforcement duties: @heavy_sounds_seattle . Ensuring the full weight of the session is felt with extra sub-bass pressure. Opening the night are local selectors @kidhops_ (KEXP) & DJ Cray (206dub). Expect a night steeped in Deep End Sound System Pressure... We’ve nearly hit capacity at both previous sessions, so be sure to lock in tickets well in advance!
