Grouch in Dub, the creatively unruly brainchild of Oscar Allison, is where genre rules go to gently expire. Effortlessly leaping across dub, reggae, glitch, bass, drum and bass, trip-hop, hip-hop, and genres you're pretty sure he just made up, Oscar turns musical indecision into a captivating art form. Live shows might feature him alone on stage, meticulously tweaking knobs with a determined look usually reserved for defusing bombs—or perhaps an entire band wondering exactly what genre they're currently playing. Sometimes it’s an immersive modular setup resembling the cockpit of an alien spacecraft, leaving audiences delighted, dancing, and mildly confused. Oscar’s performances are both a masterclass in sonic experimentation and a humorous reminder not to take genre labels—or life—too seriously. With Grouch in Dub, every show is proof that the best musical ideas happen when you're brave enough to toss the map and joyfully get lost.
