Contemporary electronic (dance) music could never
have been there if it were not for the fact that
the Jamaicans invented and developed the art of
remixing music back in the 1960's.
The legend is, that King Tubby was doing a
sound check with just the bass and drums running,
and the echo machine went wild because of some
error. The sound that came out of it was immodestly
recognized as something to work on.
The rest, needles to say, is history.
Instrumental versions became true works of art
during the 1970's when King Tubby and others
cultivated their skills on the mixing board,
releasing one DUB after the other.
DUB has now become a true form of art, a
discipline of music in itself. The producers and
engineers are considered to be artists just as
much as the musicians who play the music into the
multitrack recorder.
An excellent selection of crucial DUBS can be
heard in this episode of Sleeper's Record Shack.
We'll hear a number of engineers, as they DUB the
riddims on the mixing boards.
Enjoy a Dubwise Experience Extra-Ordinary!
