CHRIS MACRO is known for his work in hip-hop and reggae scenes, both in NZ and abroad. His current project, MACRO DUBPLATES, combines his passion for hip-hop and vintage dub in a new style of mash-up fans have coined 'Rocksteady Rap'.
Volume One of the series combines the musical madness of King Tubby with the lyrical swordplay of the Wu Tang Clan. Volume Two features Jay Z over classic dubs of Bob Marley and The Wailers. And Volume Three - 'Brooklyn, VS Kingston', has a broader lyrical and musical scope, with vocals from artists such as ODB, Dawn Penn, The Congos, Beastie Boys, Biggie, Beenie Man and U Roy, and music by Prince Jammy, King Tubby, Lee Perry and Henry Junjo Lawes, just to name a few. Volume Three is due for vinyl release at the end of September 2011.
When Macro is not working on his own projects, he can be found producing for other artists. In the past he has worked with Katchafire (NZ), Blue King Brown (Australia), John Browns Body (USA), Outlawz (US), Blindspott (NZ) and many other acts. He has also worked in the studio with The Mad Professor and James 'Bonzai' Caruso (Marley Fam).
Macro is currently in the studio working on Dubplates Volume 4.
