This week, I want to present you a style of music which I love: The Dub Music!
Dub is a form of music which evolved out of reggae in the 1960s. At the beginning, the dub sound consists of instrumental remixes of existing recordings and is achieved by significantly manipulating and reshaping the recordings, with a lot of effects, usually by removing the vocals from an existing music piece, emphasizing the drum and bass frequencies or 'riddim', adding extensive echo and reverb effects, and dubbing occasional snippets of lyrics from the original version.
There are Jamaican musicians King Tubby and Lee "Scratch" Perry pioneered the style in the 1960s and early 1970s. King Tubby and Lee Perry each called upon the mixing desk as an instrument, with the deejay or "selector" playing the role of the artist or performer. These early 'dub' examples can be looked upon as the prelude to many dance and pop music genres.
Today, the word 'dub' is used widely to describe the re-formatting of music of various genres into typically instrumental, rhythm-centric adaptations. French groups are very famous, as Zenzile, High Tone, or Ez3kiel.
