about

Dub Music consists predominantly of instrumental remixes of existing recordings and is achieved cy significantly manipulating and reshaping the recordings, usually by removing the vocals from an existing music piece, emphasizing the drum and bass parts (this stripped down track is sometimes referred to as a ‘riddim’). Other techniques include dynamically adding extensive echo, reverb, panoramic delay, and occasional dubbing of vocal or instrumental snippets from the original version or other works. Dub also sometimes features electronically generated sound effects, or the use of distinctive instruments such as the melodica.

Dub was pioneered by Osbourne, King Tubby, Ruddock, Lee Scratch Perry, Errol Thompson and others in the late 1960s. Similar experiments with recordings at the mixing desk outside of the dancehall environment were also done by producers Clive Chin and Herman Chin Loy. These producers, especially Ruddock and Perry, looked upon the mixing desk as an instrument, manipulating tracks to come up with something ne wand different. Dub has influenced many genres of music, including rock, pop, hip hop, disco, and, later, house, techno, ambient, and trip hop; it has become a base for Jungle, Drum & Bass and Dubstep. Today, the word ‘Dub’ is used widely to describe the reformatting of music of various genres into typically instrumental, rhythm-centric adaptations.
