Ganja White Night @ The Armory

Ganja White Night is a dubstep live act coming from Mons, Belgium. Growing up in the humble town of Mons Belgium, the duo was in a way sheltered from the music industry of the United States allowing them to create a honest & unique sound of their own. With their musical roots ranging from early UK bass sounds to the reggae vibes, Ganja White Night has twisted together their influences and spit out something truly fresh. Their two first tracks Strawberry Cough and Purple Star were the starting point for them to develop a style made of sharp beats, explosive basses and tricky space melodies. They created their own digital label named SubCarbon in 2009 to get to the next level and to get heard by the whole wide world. They toured live across Europe, and had their first USA tour in February 2013. The group consists of Benjamin Bayeul, aka Bamby who manages Sound Design, Arrangement, Lead and Vocal, Erwan Charlie Dodson, aka R-One or Evasive Mumbling who deals with Rhythmic and Machine. The third member until January 2012 was François Volral, aka LebelgeElectrod who was in charge of Bass and Sound Design, Arrangements, Filtering and Graphics. In June, 2016, they introduced their mascot "Mr. Wobble" with the debut of Wobble Master & LFO Requiem full animated music videos in 2016, The music video for "Wobble Master" from the EP was created by the popular Belgian street artist Ebo. Since then the story of Mr Wobble was birthed. Drawing similarities to the visual aspect of the Gorrilaz and their unique style of telling a story through their music, the duo plans to continue exploring their own universe. After a near decade deep discography, Ganja White Night struck a cord with their Mr Wobble LP release cementing their iconic Wobble sound. Centered around the idea of creating their own mini universe, the duo teamed up with Ebo to bring their concepts & vision alive. Only time will tell how big this universe is!
