Dub is a style that developed in early 70s Jamaica. Using the master recordings of reggae songs (which could be separated into separate tracks), Dub artists would create a new song by playing with the sequencing of tracks and adding effects to tracks. In essence, Dub was the first example of re-mixing, or at least the earliest example that we know of. It certainly is one of the first examples of being creative with recorded music in popular music, though avant-garde composers had done this for a while. Dub is extremely relaxed and tripped out, and you may want to smoke a big spliff before throwing on this episode!
