MRD3 aka Mad Riddim Dub Trio, features the engine room (Richard Brown – drums, Matt Reid – bass and Cuyler Biller – guitar) of popular Vancouver reggae group Mad Riddim.
Forming prior to the pandemic as a way to explore classic reggae albums via a heavy, minimalist and fully improvised dub aesthetic, the group continue to evolve, using their varied musical influences as the foundation for unrelenting grooves and lush soundscapes.
If Sly & Robbie met Khruangbin for a spliff at a party in liminal space, MRD3 would be the band playing.
Mad Riddim features Richard Brown, Matt Reid, and Cuyler Biller
