This futuristic approach has made them pioneers in the evolution of UK dub. Iration Steppas are celebrated for their electrifying live performances, which are characterized by hypnotic soundscapes, deep vibrations, and a connection with the audience that transforms every show into a unique experience.
Iration Steppas played a key role in spreading the sound system culture worldwide. He is performing at major festivals and collaborating with renowned artists in the dub and reggae scene.
