Radikal dub kolektiv was formed in 2002.and is based on d.i.y. underground ethics. It consists today of; Vanja – keys, Jadranko – guitar, Vrki – bass, Vedran – drums and Damir – sound.
On the first album (2004), we started to create a sound with our combination of dub, reggae, ska, punkrock and trance/ambient sounds. The material on ‘Bass Matters’ represents the beginning of an new era for the band, when we concentrated on playing and producing live, upbeat dub music. Even though some of these songs are already 2 years old, this is the first release of studio recordings of them, and we think they still contain new energy. Since our first album was released, we lost almost half of the band; due to maternity, personal issues, differing attitudes and death!
Despite all this we somehow managed to almost continually play shows including a couple of European tours, and a good number of one off shows.
We will be touring hard for the foreseeable future also.
Members of the Kolektiv were and still are involved in many different activities; such as playing with other bands (Abrakha-dub-r, Bijes zdravog razuma, Bilk, Drotweiler, Motus, Nula, Radikalna promjena, and others), music publishing and distribution through labels:like Humanita Nova, Zvuk Mocvare, and Kingston, party and event promotion
RDK SOUNDSYSTEM (http://myspace.com/rdksoundsystem), also plays and composes music; playing with a live digital dub mix.
Alongside the music we all want and work for this world to be a better place. Yeah. Rispekt.

Pozdrav bendovima i onima koji to žele postati!! Imamo prostoriju rođenu za vas u kojoj možete lupati, svirat, vrištat do mile volje, a da vam susjedi ne psuju majku, lupaju po vratima ili zovu policiju.
Prostorija je opremljena sa dva gitarska pojačala od 80 w,jednim bas pojačalom od 200 w te naravno sa bubnjevima i razglasom, a imamo i mikrofone i kablove (ko bi reko). Prostorija je izoliran sa spužvom tako da je sviranje u njoj prava milina...nema jeke. Cijena jednog sata je 30 kn, a sakupljenih deset sati dobijete dva sata gratis. U sklopu te prostorije imate i pred prostor (šankerija) gdje možete po mizernoj cijeni popiti pivu, kavu, čaj, sok ali ne i vodu...nemamo vodu...voda je skupa, tko želi vodu ima je u wc-u.
Prostor se nalazi u skloništu Udruge Autsajder, a adresa je Drage Kodrmana b.b. Zaprešić.
Despues de la trallita, hacemos un alto para mover el culete y reir un rato... salten y bailen con "Levantate" el primer tema que nace como banda oficial después las colaboraciones de Poti Malaje con el "killer" Wala Gipsy Gangstardo y Mayombe, y ahora con la incorporación al conjunto del vocalista senegalés Jazzaka que se une a este proyecto que finalmente queda consolidado con el nombre de "Break & Culture". A saltar y a descremarlo, no vas a poder parar de bailarlo!!!
