Dub Sonata is a Hip Hop producer from New York City. Dub’s earliest music credits include production for Double A.B., Dom Pachino & Queensbridge veteran Nature. His ’07 debut album On The Arm garnered praise from outlets like URB Magazine who named Dub part of their Next 1000, stating "Dub Sonata sounds like he was schooled by both DJ Premier and Three 6 Mafia — soul samples on one track, stomping drums and alarms on the next." The art of sampling spawned his expansive vinyl collection, among it rarities the globe-trotting producer dug up on five different continents. Following a 2010 trip to Cuba, Dub returned home with a crate of records that became the source samples for his critically acclaimed instrumental project Nights In Cuba, which Okayplayer hailed “relevant musically as it is politically.” Since then he has collaborated on full length albums with Napoleon Da Legend, Muja Messiah, Double A.B., Nejma Nefertiti and BlackLiq, and recordings with Roc Marciano, Evidence, Scram Jones, Sean Price, Tragedy Khadafi, Nickelus F and Atmosphere's Slug. Notable production credits include Sage Francis’ "Once Upon A Blood Moon," Jidenna's "Feng Shui," Rhymefest & Queen Latifah's "Goin In," and various songs by Sadat X, Cannibal Ox, Recognize Ali, and Guilty Simpson.
