Dub, for the uninitiated, began simply as an instrumental of a reggae song that were released on the B side of 45 singles. It took the genius of Lee \u201cScratch\u201d Perry and King Tubby of remixing those instrumentals and transforming them almost beyond recognition, fading each instrument in and out and applying echo and flanger liberally where needed. Dub became a genre unto itself and continued to grow and metamorphosize. Punk, industrial, ambient, pop, country\u2014their musical distinctiveness were absorbed into dub.<\/p>\n

While I love all forms of dub I\u2019m partial to the stuff that\u2019s more ambient and psychedelic. I can get lost in those realms of dub and in my mind\u2019s eye I conjured King Dub, the Mystic Selector. King Dub became a mythic DJ who I would channel every now and then, playing dub drenched tracks over the airways of WMFO.<\/p>\n
