THE SPIT BROTHERS

Bakir and Dubsworth came together in 2005 with their common backgrounds in instrumental performance and music production to form the San Francisco based band The Spit Brothers. The vision of the group is to incorporate elements of dub, afro-beat, jungle, and electronica into their music. Their live set is a combination of improvised and sequenced moments created through loop manipulation and re-arrangement, and dub fading. Both producers perform on several instruments including trumpet, bass, guitar, organ, synthesizer, and melodica. The Spit Brothers' goal is to make their audience dance through the fusion of the sound of the studio and the excitement and expressiveness of live performance.

The Spit Brothers have planned several releases for 2008 including an LP this winter and have contributed to the Full Melt Recordings compilation Bay Area Dubstep vol.2. Both Bakir and Dubsworth have solo vinyl releases planned on their own label, DubsAlive.
