SOULWARE, The Dub music collective from New Zealands Deep South take a very unique approach to today's " Bass Music " offering a refreshing breath of life to a world of disposable beats. The SOULWARE live shows and upcoming album, combine elements of dubstep, drum and bass, dub electonica, trip hop, blues and rock that will submerge the listener into a depth of sonic sound scape and rhythm that will move your body and soul.

Soulwares first release came in May 2010 with a breath taking remix of Organikismness's " My Resting " featuring Ras Judah.
This is where it all began, What first started as a side/solo project (by Organikismness) soon evolved into a collaborative motion involving people from Bluff (NZ) to Manchester (UK).

• Vocals and Native instruments - Jono Leask (Jbnaste/Rhythmonyx)
