Babe Rainbow (musician)

Babe Rainbow is the moniker of Canadian musician Cameron Reed. Reed first came to prominence following the release of two records as Babe Rainbow on the UK-based Warp Records, Shaved EP in 2010 and Endless Path EP in 2011.^[1] Mixing the genres of Dubstep, ambient, hip-hop, and Noise music, Babe Rainbow's early Post-dubstep^[2] material was described as "creating "overcast, suffocating sonic landscapes"^[3] that evoke a sound "like living in a haunted house".^[4]
