Strictly138 presents
Ghost Dubs
featuring OoGun (Drunk Elephant Sound) Auckland
Strictly138: Steppa D, Thief, P-Vans
With guests
Excelle (Radio Active 89fm)
& Sketchy Bastard
hosted by M.Tekka & Steppa D

Saturday 8th March
$5 door // Attic Lounge

In early 2007 the Ghost Dubs nights were introduced to Wellington focusing on the underground roots of Dubstep music with Strictly138 & guests serving up a diverse blend of dark 2-step garage, Dub and jungle tunes for a dynamic dancefloor expereince. The emphasis was to bring relaxed vibes to smaller club enviroments with a focus towards smaller dancefloors for people that were feelin the sound. In 2007 New Zealand saw a number of quality Dubstep artists come through and a growing interest in the infectious Dubstep groove. Since then Ghost Dubs has been known as an intimate local party embracing producers and DJ’s from around NZ.

This March we have Oogun (Drunk Elephant Sound) joining us from Auckland along side Wellington crew Strictly138. Oogun’s production style blends elements of Dancehall grooves, Hip hop and Afrobeat together incorperating his tunes in to his Dubstep sets for rude dancefloor variety. His Dubstep roller (Sun Ra Dub) is an infectious slab of summer dub vibes receiving plays on Wellingtons Homebase show on Radio Active 89fm and Auckland’s Base FM.
