Dub Colossus are a band from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Their sound fuses traditional ethio-jazz with dub, and reggae. The band was formed by Dan Harper (Invisible System) and Nick Page - aka Dubulah, who drew inspiration from working with singers and musicians in Addis Ababa in August 2006. Harper was an aid worker with a studio in Addis also recording the successful Invisible System project with founding members of Dub Colossus^[1]

Nick began his career working with Mykaell Riley (Steel Pulse)^[2] and has since worked with a long list of notable artists. In 1990 he formed the group Transglobal Underground with Tim Whelan and Hammid Man-Tu. Nick produced, wrote, and played six albums with Transglobal, before leaving in 1997 to form Temple of Sound with Neil Sparkes.

Dub Colossus are signed to Real World Records and released their first album 'A Town Called Addis' in 2008.^[3] Their second album 'Addis Through The Looking Glass' was released in April 2011.
