Reviewer describes the project as Ethio-groove and links it to Ethio-jazz traditions (reference to Mulatu Astatke). The band had at least three albums by the time of the review and performs live.

A reader-fan review celebrates Dub Colossus's 2011 album Addis Through The Looking Glass as an Ethio-groove revelation. The project blends Ethiopian music with jazz, funk, reggae and dub and features pianist Samuel Yirga. The reviewer praises the live act and recommends catching them in summer.

For:Fans of Ethio-jazz, dub, reggae, jazz-funk and world-music listeners.

 Dated 2011, the album by this Ethiopian group was a true revelation for me, compelling me to delve deeper and explore a world, the so-called Ethio-jazz, of which I barely knew the legendary Mulatu Astatke considered the father of the genre and who has played with some famous jazz musicians.
