I was iniated into dub last century when I picked up the 21st Century Dub<\/a><\/em> compilation cassette. I already loved reggae, but dub was much more expansive, mysterious, and supple. It was psychedelic. And so, over the years, I explored dub. King Tubby<\/a> and Lee \u201cScratch\u201d Perry<\/a> were my guides in this dimension.<\/p>\n\n

The more I listened, the more I heard dub\u2019s influences everywhere<\/em>. I heard it in punk, goth, industrial, etc. Dub is singular because it can absorb any genre\u2019s musical distinctiveness and make it its own.<\/p>\n\n

I\u2019d often don the guide of King Dub during my late-night shows at WMFO<\/a>. I\u2019d talk in a patois and pitch shift my voice down a notch to sound like a deejay from the deepest realms of dub. And I\u2019d play some of the deepest, low-end frequency dub I could get my hands on. Today\u2019s mix captures the spirits of those nights. I hope you enjoy it.<\/p>\n\n

Join us next week when our guest deejay will be Tim McManus of Island House Recordings<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

See you then.<\/p>\n\n
