What it is, what to hear first, and what sits next to it.
Dub is a form of music which evolved out of reggae in the late 1960s, though the dub sound more commonly known today did not originate until the early to mid–1970s. The dub sound consists predominantly of instrumental remixes of existing recordings and is achieved by significantly manipulating and reshaping the recordings, usually by removing the vocals from an existing music piece, emphasizing the drum and bass frequencies or 'riddim', adding extensive echo and reverb effects .
