Ganja White Night in Concert
As they've continued to create a fantasy-like storyline alongside their seven albums, Belgian dubstep duo Ganja White Night offer a full-fledged multisensory experience in their live performances. Dizzying lights flash alongside mischievous bass and throbbing beats, while animated tales of utopian samurais, cosmic pharaohs, surreal aztec deities, and their own protagonist, "Mr. Wobble," accompany the sonic pathways. Mr. Wobble is the visual vessel for Ganja White Night's "bass wobbling" sound, merging electronic dancehall rhythms with feisty effects. In the image of dubstep titans like The Glitch Mob and Skrillex, the pair play live off laptops, working with original stems piped through virtual instrumentation, which naturally adds more improvisation as a tour unfolds. The grandeur of the visual wizardry behind them makes the music's creators seem like mere pawns in the projected world of their show, when in fact they are the driving force. And now, as they take ‘The Origins' project around the world, they're leaving behind a trail of bodies in motion, totems in the air, and heightened senses all around. Catch them at EDC Orlando, Nghtmre Before Xmas in San Francisco, and elsewhere.
Ganja White Night Background
Benjamin "Bamby" Bayeul and Charlie "Erwan" Dodson grew up in the town of Mons, Belgium, away from the hustle and bustle of bigger European cities. They connected in the late 2000s to form what was at first a trio, but soon settled into their duo configuration, releasing their debut self-titled album in 2010. On their own label, Subcarbon Records, they've released all seven of Ganja White Night's records through Bandcamp. They've been at the forefront of the bass music movement, unfolding with and exploring different corners of dubstep at every turn. In 2016, they teamed up with Belgian street artist Ebo to create their narrative-driving Mr. Wobble dubstep superhero of sorts, and the interplanetary visual world that revolves around him. With their latest album, ‘The Origins,' Ganja White Night dig back into the roots of the dubstep genre to enact everything Mr. Wobble has morphed into along the way. From the Caspa-featured "Unique" to the "Samurai" collaboration with Zed's Dead, the journey continues.
