Christoph El' Truento is perhaps best known as the beat-making brains behind hip hop outfit @Peace, as well as lending his skills to the likes of Homebrew and Avantdale Bowling Club - to name a few.

When he's not cooking up swirling cosmic soundscapes, the Auckland-based producer likes to dive deeper into the realm of experimentation for solo projects.
We last spoke to Christoph in 2015 , when he had just released SSELLF - a record that traverses the path of ambient and noise music. And on the heels of that, he dropped LWMP18 late last year - a 23-track collection that takes its cues from juke and footwork - forms of dance music originating from Chicago.

Now Christoph has followed up with Peace Maker Dub, an album two years in the making. Peace Maker Dub harks back to Christoph's love of Jamaican dub music, which was introduced to him by his big brother and has shaped his outlook on sound over the years.
Danielle Street went to visit Christoph at his home studio in Point Chevalier to see how it all came together.
