Dub consists predominantly of instrumental remixes of existing recordings and is achieved by 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').

Can anyone help me find WHO was responsible for the sick dub in Angel Dust (JPN, 1994)?

https://youtu.be/yVR38LnBRfA?si=sNFWdpg7qTgJcZF8&t=217

Just finished watching this wild film, and the music made me crack open my laptop on a Sunday night to do some sleuthing.

Throughout the film there are different dub interludes and injections. Someone's gotta know who's behind this sickness!

Yes, it’s “that riff” again, sue me

Sunday activities. The Mono/Poly is one of my fav synths, it’s very limited and not quite polyphonic (all voices share one filter), but it’s got tons of vibe. Fun way to warm up before a session.

Looking for a track

Howdy /dub! I'm looking for a track that V.I.V.E.K. played in one of his sets while he was in Belgium (approx 2 years ago). The only thing about the track I remember is a guy screaming "NYYAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY".

Thanks in advance.

TRACK ID - Outro that says "keep it up"

So today I was at the Barber Shop and heard this song on the radio. It's not Bob Marley, but I'm sure it was someone famous, as it sounded pretty familiar.

It played right after Led Zepellim, Pink Floyd and Queen, so it makes me think it's from the 70's or 80's.

What struck me was the outro of the song: the man singing repeated "keep it up", the bass played this repeating bassline and from time to time the guitar did that classic "dub" echo thing. I'm sure it's a big song, I just can't for the life o f me remember the artist

Digi dub recommendations

Hey, i’m looking for some more tracks of a certain sound - specifically dub tracks that use drum machines and synthesisers (the less “real” instruments the better lol) bc I really like the sound of some of those records but there aren’t too many of them i’ve found outside the Taurus label. I’m talking about tracks like King Everald “After All” or Hopeton Lindo “All My Love” or things like that. The sound is definitely mainly electronic but not really like upbeat or dance-y. I know its kind of specific but i’m new here so any recommendations are appreciated! Love

King Size Dub 24 is out on https://orcd.co/ksd24 feat. Dub Syndicate, Dubblestandart, Dubmatix, Noiseshaper, The New Blade Runners and many more!

Imagine music that conjures sun-soaked days, vibrant sound systems, golden sands, and cool, refreshing drinks. The bass grooves with a calm yet tantalizingly rebellious energy. Dub music, the groundbreaking art form first elevated by DJs in Jamaica, emerged in the 1950s with mobile sound systems stepping in for absent local radio stations. These innovative DJs, driven by a desire for exclusivity, began to record their hit singles—infusing them with instrumental backgrounds that played on humor and clever announcements. By the late 1960s, dub evolved independently thanks to technological advancements. Icons like King Tubby and Lee "Scratch" Perry boldly experimented with reverb, echo, and reverse tapes, allowing dub to transcend Jamaica and thrive in cities like New York and London, where it harmonized perfectly with punk’s fierce spirit.

For years, a remarkable dub series has captivated listeners, starting with the launch of “KING SIZE DUB 1” in collaboration with the influential magazine SPEX back in 1995. This engaging series continues to explore intriguing themes (like Vol. 69) and spotlights distinctive regions (Dub In Germany), labels (ON-U Sound Records from London), and bands (such as Dubblestandart from Vienna). We are thrilled to introduce KSD 24, a new compilation that presents dub as a richly layered art of sound mixing. This edition focuses on extraordinary interpretations of beloved songs and artists, including James Blond, the Ramones, Grace Jones, Fela Kuti, Jacob Miller, Rabba, Klaus Schulze, and others. It is set to be the next groundbreaking chapter in the evolution of KING SIZE DUB that you won’t want to miss!

Dub records in Germany?

Any physical shop where you can buy dub vinyl records in Germany? I know shops sometimes have some here and there but I also heard Berlin has some shops with a lot of records? Maybe even original pressings? Any tips?

HELP ME FIND THE SINGER!!!

Hi, I was listening with some Mad Professor when I stumbled across this song; the song has Italian lyrics and singer (as I am too) but I can’t figure out who she is. I am pretty familiar with the Italian dub scene from those years but still I cannot recognize the voice. At first glance I thought she could’ve been Meg from 99 Posse but the voices don’t match. Looking on the web has been totally useless, so if anyone knows anything, please help me resolve this mystery, best regards :)
