Hawai‘i-born musician Mike Love returns to the UK and Europe with his transformative new albums Leaders and Teachers, bringing his powerful, one-of-a-kind live show to audiences hungry for music with meaning.

A true innovator and revolutionary at heart, Love was born on the island of O‘ahu into a family of musicians and has been using music as a form of conversation and connection for as long as he can remember. His captivating solo performances have earned international acclaim, weaving intricate looping, multiple instruments, and a dynamic vocal range into a spellbinding one-man-band experience.

Drawing inspiration from roots reggae, progressive and classic rock, soul, blues, flamenco, jazz, and classical traditions, Love’s music defies genre boundaries while remaining anchored in a single mission: to inspire transformation and positive change.

Teachers (released October 2025) marks the second installment in a powerful trilogy following Leaders (2024) and preceding the upcoming Healers. The project stands as Mike’s most ambitious and personal work to date.

“It’s been the most intense piece I’ve worked on in my life,” says Love. “I’m just happy it’s getting out there. At this point, it’s done what it needed to do for me — now hopefully it can help someone else with their journey, give them strength, courage, healing.”

For Mike Love, music has always been more than entertainment — it’s a sacred force for healing, learning, and growth. His performances invite audiences not only to listen, but to awaken.

Dub FX is the epitome of independent music.
 
In 2006, Melbourne born Benjamin Stanford set off to Europe with a simple plan; live in a van, travel the world and street perform. Fast forward, Dub FX has sold over a hundred thousand records, rocked major festivals all over the world, racked up 150+ million youtube views and organically acquired 600,000 Facebook fans.  All completely independently.
 
“My plan was never to blow up, just to travel and get inspired.”
 
After endless street performances all over the world, people captured his art form on their phones and posted them all over social media, resulting in viral videos that catapulted dub fx into a brand new type of success that didn’t yet exist. The videos capture his original live looping style perfectly giving the audience an understanding of the layers that make up the eclectic one-person show.
 
“I like to mix all genres together jazz, reggae, hip-hop, samba, drum n bass, dubstep. whatever I’m feeling at the moment, that's the beauty of my setup.”
 
Imagine you're walking to work; you hear what sounds like a track from a CD played out of a Soundsystem. Instead, it's one person making all the sounds from just his voice, an FX pedal and a loop machine. Lyrically Dub FX is as real as it gets, consciously projecting positivity and self-empowerment through his music. Exactly what a street corner needs. 
 
“I decided long ago that I want to be remembered for adding value to the world and I can do this through inspiring people with conscious lyrical content, regardless of how unpopular that may be”
 
Dub FX independently released his 3rd studio album 'Thinking Clear' in late 2016 through his label CONVOY in partnership with Germany label Membran. Recorded in his very own Treetop Studios, his innovative blend of genres with environmental scenery creates a holistic experience that inspires through transcendent electronic and acoustic elements.
