Dub Mission is a dub party which occurs weekly on Sunday nights at San Francisco's Elbo Room club in the Mission district.[1] Started by DJ Sep in 1996 as a monthly venue to fill a void in the Bay Area's dub scene, Dub Mission has grown into a weekly event with a loyal fan base, and regularly features prominent dub and reggae musicians as guests. Resident DJs of Dub Mission include Ludichris, Vinnie Esparza, Maneesh the Twister and J. Boogie.[2] Prominent stars who have performed at Dub Mission events include the Mad Professor, Adrian Sherwood, Groove Corporation, Overproof Soundsystem, Tino Corp, Ben Wa, and Dr. Israel.

Dub Mission has won awards including a 1999 Goldie Award and a 2004 award for Best Dub Club.[3]
