Dub FX

Wiki:
Dub FX (real name Benjamin Stanford) is a worldwide street performer and studio recording artist from St Kilda, Melbourne, Australia. His trademark is the use of loop and effect pedals combined with his voice. He creates intricate hip hop, reggae and drum and bass rhythms. Some of his music is also referred to as dubstep. Stanford travels and performs with his partner Flower Fairy.

Dub Fx claims to be completely independent using only: live performance, word of mouth, internet social networking and a number of easily accessible free samples. His lyrics both address generalized world events and contemporary angst while suggesting individual based revolution through self determination and engagement.

Everythinks a Ripple is the first Dub FX studio album. The promotional material says “all sounds on the album were created with his voice using a Roland effects & loop pedal.”
