King Tubby
Most people when they think of “Dub” music usually imagine some first pumping shit disco electronica in an early 90’s club. Dub music originally evolved from Reggae in the late 60’s and early 70’s. King Tubby, while working as a disc cutter for producer Duke Reid in 1968, was asked to create instrumental versions of songs by stripping out the vocals via the mixing deck. Through this process, King Tubby realized he could tweak and alter the instrumental tracks by adding reverb, echoes, phases and shifting the emphasis on certain instrumental tracks.
These early “remixes” by King Tubby and other Dub pioneers like Lee “Scratch” Perry are often seen as the origin of the “REMIX.” Most listeners of remixes today are unaware that these techniques started with Jamaican Rocksteady and Reggae.
