Today\u2019s show, all dub.<\/p>\n
Back when I was a DJ at WMFO<\/a> I sometimes used to fill in on some shows under the guise of King Dub. I\u2019d speak with a slight Jamaican patois and pitch shift my voice and add some echo so I would sound like some interdimensional sound selector from the deepest realms of dub.<\/p>\n Dub, for those of you who don\u2019t know, began as instrumentals of songs that appeared on the flipside of 45 rpms. In time, producers like Lee \u201cScratch\u201d Perry<\/a> and King Tubby<\/a> began processing the instruments and vocals with effects such as echo and reverb, often with the instruments and vocals dropping in and out of the mix. But almost always with a massive low bass.<\/p>\n Dub later made it\u2019s presence felt in electronic music and influenced techno, jungle, dubstep, drum and bass, house music, trip hop, ambient music, and hip hop.<\/p>\n
