Hailing from Reading, Version Big-Fi sound nothing like anything the city has ever produced. Putting classic songwriting aside, this twosome bring wired-up punk energy, super heavy reggae grooves and booming dub echoes to the forefront. Version Big-Fi have always been determined to stay totally separate from the insular music scene around them. "We want to make tea," says bassist Papa Sparks. "Our songs should be sung at every social gathering in the country. We're not interested in sloganeering, posturing or coffee in the
conventional sense."
Version Big-Fi - Tone (beats/dubs) and Papa Sparks (bass/samples) - have been honing their radical assault since late 2006. Previously releasing 2 singles in the UK under the Dubtronic label, the bands first full-length studio album Everything But released 28.01.08 was produced at Big-Fi Studios in Reading.
The Big-Fi Dub of their first single Top Of The World was nominated for "Best Dub Recording Or Album" at the 2008 Reggae Academy Awards held at the National Indoor Sports Centre, Kingston, Jamaica and featured performances from Shaggy, Sean Paul, Morgan Heritage, Toots, Marcia Griffiths and Elephant Man amongst others.
"They're very much a 21th Century act, and not just because of the fact that Version Big-Fi was born in 2006. The progressive UK based DUB collective is determined to do their part in taking Reggae Music into this century and they're doing it, too!
All kinds of digital technologies and possibilities are used to express their works of DUB Art, everything in the Punky Reggae tradition that so many in the UK have been influenced by.
