dub reggae

Dub reggae is a subgenre of reggae music characterized by heavy bass, sparse arrangements, and extensive use of studio effects like echo, reverb, and delay.

Producers strip songs down to drums and bass, then layer atmospheric effects over the skeletal rhythm.

Originating in Jamaica in the late 1960s, dub pioneered remix culture and influenced electronic music, hip-hop, and punk.

The dub version stretched the original track into something hypnotic and strange.
