about

KONG is the instrumental dub reggae moniker of Melbourne multi-instrumentalist and producer Jack Kong.

KONG immersed himself in the music of the classic period of dub reggae on long walks along the Moonee Ponds Creek during the 2021 lockdowns. The resulting record 'The Yellow King’s Revenge' is an immersive, instrumental journey inspired by dub pioneers such as King Tubby, Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry & Scientist.

The record traces the forgotten landscape of the West Melbourne Swamp, incorporating real and fictional places and characters into the track titles including Dudley Flats, Blue Lake, and of course... the Yellow King.

“It felt natural to use the creek and its stories as the backdrop for the dub reggae inspired music I’d been recording.” Jack Kong

After a decade playing in bands including The Prize, Beans, Gonzo & Traffik Island, the project sees him take on writing, performance and production duties to craft his own eccentric take on the dub genre.

I just simply love this album. It twists and turns and takes its influences in a seriously fun and exciting manner, without really sounding like any one else. Can't wait for their next album. W.T.R.
