Synopsis

Rub Of Rub is a contemporary experimental dub band from Bandung, Indonesia, known for blending psychedelic, electronic, disco and reggae dub influences into a progressive, boundary-pushing sound. Formed by Mochamad Rizwan Sukarna, Atma Mulyana, Al Zona Khautsar, and Muhammad Akbar Nurhakim, the band released their debut EP Ruang Waktu in 2018, earning praise from online media, record labels and the local music scene Indonesia.

Since then, Rub Of Rub has performed extensively around Indonesia, sharing their distinctive sound at national radio shows (99ers, Ardan Radio, OZ Radio) and major festivals including Joyland Festival, Synchronize Festival, Pestapora, Tapau Fest Malaysia 2023, SXSW Sydney 2024, Party In The Rain and RRRecfest. In 2021, they released their latest EP Fluktuasi with Lamunai Records and have since embarked on tours across Java-Bali and Australia.

Rub Of Rub continues to expand the possibilities of dub, sharing their rich, textured sound with audiences at home and abroad.
