TRUMYSTIC is a 6 piece live dub alliance, on the cutting edge of modern music. With vocalist Kirsty Rock at the helm (as heard on Dub Side of the Moon & just released Radio Dread) partnered with bassist and co-founder Reggie Hodges (High Fidelity Dub Sessions #3), drummer,Craig Santiago (Acorn), resident sound scientist, Dept. of Dub, accompanied by Duane Och on organ and Tony Calarco on sax they deliver a ridiculously skilled and exciting musical experience.

What TRUMYSTIC brings to the stage is an uplifting new sound to the reggae world. Incorporating dub essentials, dancehall, hip-hop, soul music and even some genre-bending, skank-infused riddim rock. With honesty they convey politically charged lyrics, which deal with social issues among different walks of life, accented by beautiful vocals, solid as a rock rhythm section and a truly blazing brass sound.

TRUMYSTIC's MISSION

"WE WANT THE PEOPLE TO CELEBRATE, TO FEEL INSPIRED AND TO BE INSPIRED OURSELVES. WE ASPIRE TO DELIVER A MESSAGE OF AWARENESS AND HOPEFULLNESS." ~Trumystic

This has to be my choice for dub album of the year. Heavy where it should be...plenty of meditational melodies...and the voice of Kirsty Rock! If you loved the siren wail on "Great Gig in the Sky" from "Dub Side of the Moon", "Dub Power" will simply dub you c-r-a-z-y.... ~Dr. Strange Dub KFAI-FM
