Dub War is Benny iLL & Bill Robin. They have worked together under a number of aliases since the early 90's. By the mid 90's they were signed by Sven Vath's Frankfurt based label Harthouse on which they released 4 Eps and the critically acclaimed album 'South of The River' under the name Bill&Ben. This work focused what had by now become a genre-less approach to music production. Seeking out new forms from combinations of music that had inspired them and this project helped define the early Dub War sound.
In 98 Bill&Ben released the track 'Keep On' for the PIAS album 'Sounds Like London', while this only ever made it to white label it is a very early example of the nascent transition from UK Garage/2 Step to what the press would later term Dubstep.
In 2001 they released the Dub War EP 'Murderous Riddim/Generation' on Tempa, now considered an important stepping stone in Bass Music history.
They currently work on a number of other projects: Benny iLL records as Horsepower Productions. Bill Robin records as South London HiFi & Warp Technique and founded the Rebel HiFi party collective in Berlin.
