King Dub was a character I created back at WMFO<\/a> whenever I had a chance to grab some extra air time. I\u2019d pitch shift my voice, add some delay, speak in a patois and sound like an interdimensional god from the realms of dub.<\/p>\n

Atmosphere was important when I assumed the identity of King Dub. All the lights in the studio were turned off except for maybe a few lights muted with red and orange gel filters or a few candles. It was mandatory to have some incense burning, maybe some sage or sandalwood. Add some dub by the likes of The Orb<\/a>, Meat Beat Manifesto<\/a>, Yabby You<\/a> or Ras Michael<\/a> throbbing through the sub woofer and I was taken to far off lands.<\/p>\n

The memory of those shows have been so strongly imprinted on me that whenever I hear some beautiful dub I\u2019m instantly transported back to that studio. I hope that when you listen to this week\u2019s dub edition of solipsistic NATION<\/b> that I\u2019ll find you in that studio with me.<\/p>\n
