Manwel T mixed his first dub tune on his personal
computer in 2006. Influenced by dub pioneers like King Tubby and Lee Perry, and other dub masters like
Scientist, Adrian Sherwood, Jah Shaka, Mad Professor, Alpha & Omega and Zion Train, he uses
today's technology to create reggae and dub works that sound vintage and innovative at the same time!
Born Manwel Tabone in Malta in 1960, he has been into reggae since the mid-70s. He presented
the weekly Reggae Club show on
Radio Malta between 1989 and 2005. In 1990 he published the first edition of the Reggae World fanzine which lasted four issues.
Artists that have been remixed by Manwel T include Alpha & Omega, Coldcut, Dream Circle, Dubmatix, General
Smiley, John Brown's Body, Public Enemy, The Slackers, and Zion Train.
'Manwel T Meets Mind's Eye Dub At The Temple Of Dub' was Manwel
T's first album released by Dubkey in April 2009. It was followed by four sets in the Virtual Dub series. 'Cosmic', the first full album featuring Manwel T as musician, composer, and producer, appeared in August 2015. A year later, the 'Freedom Stepper' 7" single was released.
Since then, Manwel T's own music and his remixes kept appearing on his Dubkey label, and several other labels like Vinyl Moon, Emperorfari, and Dubophonic.
