In Remixology: Tracing the Dub Diaspora Paul Sullivan explores the
evolution of Dub; the avant-garde verso of Reggae. Dub as a set of
studio strategies and techniques was among the first forms of
popular music to turn the idea of song inside out, and is still far
from being fully explored. With a unique grip on dance, electronic,
and popular music, dub-born notions of remix and re-interpretation
set the stage for the music of the twenty-first century. This book
explores the origins of dub in '70s Kingston, Jamaica and traces
its evolution as a genre, approach and attitude to music to the
present day. Stopping off in the cities where it has made most
impact - London, Berlin, Toronto, Kingston, Bristol, New York,
Sullivan's study spans a range of genres, from post-punk to
dub-techno, jungle to the now ubiquitous dubstep. Along the way he
speaks to a host of international musicians, DJs and luminaries of
the dub world including Scientist, Adrian Sherwood, Channel, U Roy,
Clive Chin, Dennis Bovell, Shut Up And Dance, DJ Spooky, Francois
Kevorkian, Mala and Roots Manuva. This wide-ranging and lucid book
follows several parallel threads, including the evolution of the
MC, the birth of sound system culture and the broader story of the
post-war Jamaican diaspora itself. One of the few books to be
written specifically on dub and its global influence, Remixology is
also one of the first to look at the specific relationship between
dub and the concept that cuts across all postmodern creative
disciplines today: the Remix.
