HEAVYWEIGHT DUB CHAMPION Bio---------
"WHERE ANCIENT RITUAL MEETS MODERN TECHNOLOGY"
Presenting the most exciting live PA performance in the world, the Heavyweight Dub Champion experience is like no other musical liberation movement. A live mix on 64 channels of audio, featuring 3 shamanistic sonic alchemists (Resurrector, Patch and Totter Todd), ceremonial guidance and hip hop divinations by Apostle, reverence and ragga revolution represented by Stero Lion, guest appearances by Dr. Israel, Lady K, Illnaughty, Wailer B, J Criminology and others, the HDC+ Liberation Process is an extreme musical event. HDC+ music is created, performed, recorded, and manipulated in Champion Nation Studios, Colorado and San Francisco. All HDC+ music is fervently original and virtually all sounds are created from scratch for maximum effect on the inner-psyche. The live performance is a mixture of prerecorded Champion Nation sounds and beats individually manipulated on analog sound consoles filtered through vintage effects and layered with live performance on vintage synthesizers, saxophone, turntables (for scratching only), percussion, calculated feedback, and vocals. The HDC+ stage set consists of thousands of pounds of some of the most powerful music equipment ever made.
The Mission:
"The Unconditional Liberation of the Human Race"
Heavyweight Dub Champion is a movement of interdimensional Warriors representing the Army of the Last Champion. The movement's source is Primal Creative Force and is presented through music, words, art, video, film, and underground web networks. The collective is centered on musical performance, which utilizes divination practices to bring the audience into a hypnotic trance. While in this trance, HDC+ infiltrates minds and removes layers of deception, thus enabling Truth to flourish. HDC+ uses sonic vibration to open channels and empower the listener. This collective artistic performance is called the Liberation Process.
"Champion Nation Revolution"
The first album release by HDC+ was "Survival Guide for the End of TIme"- awarded Best Local Recording of 2003 by Westword Magazine in Colorado. HDC+ is currently finishing "Rise of the Champion Nation" 14 new tracks of Dub Hop featuring three tracks with KRS ONE, a track with Wu Tang Clan's Killah Priest, as well as tracks with Dr. Israel, Lady K, APOSTLE, Stero Lion, Wailer B, and J Criminology.
Live
HDC+'s extensive live performance history is highlighted by the collective's intense diversity. HDC+ shows vary from multimedia art happenings involving as many as 75 people to small electronica shows featuring instrumental sets by four of the collective's members. The show history encompasses a wide variety of musical genres. HDC+ has played reggae festivals, all night raves, hip hop shows, small electronica clubs, jamband festivals, urban dance clubs, as well as promoting over 25 of their own Liberation Process multimedia performances at theatres throughout America. HDC+ has been well received at shows featuring trip hop, reggae, drum and bass, punk rock, hip hop, house, break beat, dub, spoken word, turntablism, and even hippy jams. HDC+'s cryptic, yet progressive ideology has created firm alliances with many political movements whose members often set up information tables at HDC+ shows. HDC+ performed live on the nationally distributed , politically conscious television station Free Speech TV, as well as having a live show in syndication.

Liberation Process
The purpose of Liberation Process is to a build a positive, creative, and truthful foundation for mentally and spiritually liberating forces. There will be presentations, art installations, performances both live and electronic, live action painting, multiple video presentations- consisting of original footage filmed in 9 countries, and a general atmosphere of open-minded creative awareness. We encourage the community to join in and present their impressions of how to combat our "world gone mad." Liberation Process is a gathering place for those distraught by the present situation in the world and will present creatively empowering musical and artistic responses to the Disintegration of Truth and Spiritual Awareness.
RESURRECTOR & PATCH
founders and musical leaders of HDC+, R&P created HDC+ in 1997 with nothing but a 4 track and acoustic instruments. For years, all HDC+ music was created at 9000 ft. above sea level in a hundred year old cabin with no running water. R&P proceeded to create a new style of music featuring the use of over 50 instruments meticulously collected from a variety of global locales and time periods. Carefully formulating a rhythmic collaboration which bridges time and space, R&P made vibratory contact with multiple dimensions. In
this environment, R&P continuously received visions and guidance as they ventured through the Last Champion's Warrior Divination and began the process of bringing the
Champion's music to the Earthbound dimension. Soon, the Last Champion Manifesto materialized through great suffering and hallucinatory realizations, the Otium found its form, the Gate to Eternal Salvation swung open, and the Warriors of the Chosen began to make themselves known...
APOSTLE - Ascending Power Over Secular Territory Liberating Earthlings
Apostle is leader and founder of the Colorado Hip Hop Coalition- a revolutionary movement that teaches self fulfillment to youths through hip hop expression. Apostle has 3 solo albums,"The Chosen One", "Days of Darkness", and "Last of a Dying Breed." His contribution to the Liberation of hip hop and the masses has been neverending. A unique human being, Apostle is rapper, teacher, preacher, revolutionary leader, and voice of the Last Champion. His forthcoming album, "Intelligent Movement" (Produced by HDC+) is an evolutionary step forward for hip hop. Apostle is paid to speak on college campuses and also speaks publically at many political rights rallies and protests. In the Liberation Process, Apostle is the master of ceremonies and the lead vocal. He offers rap verses and guides the Warrior Divination from the "Arrival" to "Higher Elevation".
TOTTER TODD
A Colorado Native, T Dizzle is the third piece to the HDC+ musical triad. He is a virtuoso saxophonist, a studied jazz musician, a pagan musical shaman, and leader of many musical collectives including Totter Todd & the Well Tempered Players, the Portland-based Feral, and KWAM 333. In HDC+ he is both saxophonist and musical alchemist. Like Resurrector, he is a Religious Studies graduate and brings all sorts of spiritual power through whichever instrument or vocal he is exalting. He also occasionally breaks out some throat singing, lead vocal, or shamanistic mantra- surrounded and backed up by his entourage of interdimensional spirits. Totter's main set up in HDC+ includes a wide array of vintage fx pedals, a moog rogue, specially designed laptop running all sorts of homemade vocal and musical samples, and a few top secret sonic torture devices such as "the dub champion"- a handmade alteration of a earlier sonic reality.
STERO LION
Born in Leeds, England and moved to the Bronx when he was 9, Stero has been holding down the dancehall since he was a kid freestyling on the streets NYC. He is a Revolutionary Rasta who brings both spiritual power and deception-breaking messages in his lyrics. He is a Champion Nation footsoldier and veteran of many reggae sound systems including Progression Sound Movement. He is currently DJ and MC on two reggae radio shows.
ILLNAUGHTY
Illnaughty is a modern music industry renaissance man. He is one of the most skilled turntablists in the West. His scratching styles are well-studied and built on real musical skills. He is an accomplished percussionist, as well as an engineering school graduate. In his turntable performances he utilizes knowledge of effects, wah pedals, and his acute sense for production to create a sound and style all his own. Illnaughty is also owner, engineer, and chief producer for Fanbass Recordings and Studio. He is founding member of Like Minds- a hip hop collective featuring local and national emcees. He has produced and released projects for many top hip hop emcees.
WAILER B
From St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, Wailer is from a family of Rastafarian singers and musicians. He is the foundation of the roots reggae movement in Colorado. He is a veteran of many of Colorado's most successful reggae bands, including Roots Revolt, Dub Massive, and Wailer B and Axiom. Wailer has been leading spiritual revolutionaries through music in Colorado for over 10 years. He has been featured on countless releases out of Colorado over the years and has one full length self-titled album. He performs with HDC+ rarely, but is a strong presence in the studio. His lyrics vary from apocalyptic anthems such as "Burn 'em in a Flame of Fire" to rasta hymns like "Praise the Father". When not on tour with HDC+, he is represented through samples and is featured heavily on HDC+'s scratch records- so his angel-like voice is often heard manipulated through Illnaughty's turntables.

This CD is great!
author: tk.I bought this CD after only hearing 1 sample track, and the rest of the CD is just as great as the sampled one. If only there was more CDs out with this kind of music...
Suggested Reading: Last Champion Manifesto
author: ME_BRUCHThe dub itself is a nice blend of many different genres. The depth and meaning to the music takes hold as you read the Last Champion Manifesto. Truly a musical/spiritual journey. The more I listen to the CD the more understanding I attain. Looking forward to the second.
I saw these guy live on stage at Reggae On The River and it blew my mind!

The Chapion has arrived!!
author: smallwonder41Its official, Reggae on the River 06 was a break thru preformance for this crew of mindblowing preformers. I had also never heard of this group before and I am from the bay area. As soon as I heard their beats I was on my feet dancing my ass off their entire set. As soon as I got home I looked them up, so glad I did because I LOVE this cd. Cant wait for the next one this fall. Thanks CD Baby and HDC.

One of a kind! I wish more bands did it like this!
author: Martin WestI didn't know what to expect from my "Survival Guide" - but it comes complete with Last Champion Manifesto, apoco-graffiti poster, sticker & 70+ minutes of music. This is a concept album like I've never quite seen before. There are so many different vocalists and such that I first wondered if it was a compilation, but the strange cohesion that binds all the styles and personalities together is intriguing. This is definitely the most defining and intricate packaging I have ever seen. It is inspirational to see so much dedication to go into a project and music is as interesting and unique as its package - this stuff is infectious!

This crew is definitely pushing the envelope. For those interested in exploring the depths of music and a whole new dimension in dub... check these guys out!
Sexiest body throbbing beat ever experienced
author: Chelsea BrieThe acceleration of this musical masterpiece was as, if not more, climactic than sex could ever be. Every track had a way of molesting every molecule within me; grooving my body to an almost uncontrollable, rhythmic motion. It made my insides burn with intensity hearing this perfect combination of vocals, deep bass, drums, and every other instrument thrown in. With HeavyWeight, you can leave the drugs at home; it's so mind-altering that your high never brings you down for a moment; except to press the repeat button over and over.
