What it is, what to hear first, and what sits next to it.
Dub techno is the fusion of minimal techno with the characteristics of dub. Songs of this genre can typically be identified by heavy use of delay and reverb applied to minor chords, structured around a minimal techno drum track. Those characteristisc are used to convey atmospheric deepness and enrichment of textures through sound effects like echo, reverb, phasing and other manipulations of sound. The origins of dub techno can be traced back to experimentation by Basic Channel in 1990's Berlin .
