BIOGRAPHY
Since September 2010, these four crucial points of the illest of light have touched down on Earth and emerged on the scene as RootsCollider – the definitive 21st-century “Dry & Heavy Livetronica DubCore” act, which continues to push the sonic envelope toward a state of musical enlightenment.
This future Fab Four are dedicated to bringing their listeners only the freshest cuts of live, original, p
unishing drum-and-bass, crushing dubstep, destructive electro-rock and fresh future-funk, all of it blended with the crucial elements of dub reggae.
The band’s sole purpose is to supercollide these genres into a single, unstoppable aesthetic force, and they also take pride in being one of the last almost completely analog defenses against the digital era.
