DUB FX & Flower Fairy
Dub FX uses a Boss RC-50 Loop Station along with a GT-10 effects pedal to create vocal-only beats, and then sings & raps over the top. His music is infused with drum and bass, hip-hop and dub step influences and has the power to turn heads of all backgrounds across the world with his prolific street based performances.
Dub Fx (Benjamin Stanford) is a worldwide street performer and studio recording artist from St Kilda, Melbourne, Australia. After playing and singing in a band called Twitch & N.O.N with CAde since they were 15, he struck out solo when he moved to Europe. His trademark is creating rich live music using only his own performance aided by Live looping and effect pedals combined with his voice.
Stanford travels and performs with his fiancée Flower Fairy (real name Shoshana Sadia) whom he met in Manchester UK. Flower Fairy can usually be seen selling CDs during Dub Fx’s performances and also performs alongside Stanford. She is featured singing in the songs on Everythinks A Ripple, Wandering Love, and Time Will Tell. Flower Fairy released a CD “Nursery Gryme” produced by Dub Fx aimed towards children. Dub has released 2 Live CDs, 1 is an ultra rare burnt CD of random recordings from street performances the second is “Live in the Street” the Cardboard slip which is still available on convoyunltd.com.
Everythinks A Ripple is Dub’s studio album released in late 2009 which has the songs Love Someone & Flow, two songs made popular through Ben Dowden a Bristol film maker who captured the live performances and posted them on youtube.
