Dieseln'Dub | Diesel n’Dub

Art & Album launched!

After a stunning live debut at Garma Gathering, peaking with a performance on ABC Q&A program, the full Diesel n’Dub album was released on 5th September by Diaspora Music in recognition of National Indigenous Literacy Day. It’s been a dream run for Declan, a highly respected Sydney musician and producer who hatched the idea a couple of years ago of reinventing some of Australia’s most powerful protest songs into dub-reggae anthems.

Declan Kelly launches the second Diesel n’Dub single, Midnight Oil’s hit Beds are Burning reinvented as a dub-reggae anthem featuring Frank Yamma and Patou Powell on vocals, and mixed by legendary dub master Mad Professor. Arguably one of the most highly celebrated political songs of all time, Beds are Burning was written by Midnight Oil in response to the land rights battle fought by the Pintupi people of the Gibson Desert region.
