Staff picks
Dub was born in Jamaica in the late 1960s and 70s, when studio engineers like King Tubby and Lee Scratch Perry started remixing reggae records. They stripped out vocals, pushed up the bass and drums, and soaked everything in echo.
Where dub works
- chill and reggae-themed content;
- trippy visuals and art films;
- beach and island footage;
- late-night lounge backgrounds.
The studio as an instrument
Dub treats the mixing desk like a musical instrument. Sounds drop in and out, delays repeat into the distance and reverb opens huge spaces. That idea shaped hip-hop, dubstep, dub techno and remix culture as a whole. For trippy visuals and art films, the echoes and spacious mixes create a dreamlike feel. For beach and island footage, the deep bass and relaxed pace bring a sunny calm.
