When Jamaican recording engineers Osbourne "King Tubby" Ruddock,
Errol Thompson, and Lee "Scratch" Perry began crafting "dub" music
in the early 1970s, they were initiating a musical revolution that
continues to have worldwide influence. Dub is a sub-genre of
Jamaican reggae that flourished during reggae's "golden age" of the
late 1960s through the early 1980s. Dub involves remixing existing
recordings--electronically improvising sound effects and altering
vocal tracks--to create its unique sound. Just as hip-hop turned
phonograph turntables into musical instruments, dub turned the
mixing and sound processing technologies of the recording studio
into instruments of composition and real-time improvisation. In
addition to chronicling dub's development and offering the first
thorough analysis of the music itself, author Michael Veal examines
dub's social significance in Jamaican culture. He further explores
the "dub revolution" that has crossed musical and cultural
boundaries for over thirty years, influencing a wide variety of
musical genres around the globe.
