Dub

[Delroy]

Any Dub fans, I got into it midway through last year and am loving it ,I listen to it fairly regularly these days- great for summer days when your doing nothing but raging and drinking brews.

The likes of Lee Scratch Perry, King Tubby, Augustus Pablo are what I listen to mainly

Mezmerized by the groove state, a snare shot, soaked in digital delay, ricochets into the air above your head, decaying slowly over a insitent, throbbing sub sonic bass line that drives deep into your body. Jamaican dub creates a hypnotic beat, building a tension until it breaks….hide the children - dub is loose.- from some random dub site

Got right into Selmonella Dub when i was a pretty big pot smoker a few year's back. Also got exposed to a fair bit of stuff that i was too wasted to remember the name's of.

Wouldn't quite put Leftfield, Massive Attack or Tricky in that basket although there is definitely traces. But yeah, when the mood is right Dub can certainly sit nicely. Some of my favourite playing memories was getting bent and setting our instruments up at someone's house/studio and jamming to dub tunes. Good times.

I liked The Clash's work with Dub.

Ive heard of Salmonella Dub but never heard them, Ill check them out.

Elements of Dub can definately be found in various modern styles of music the sample is a massive thing in music these days- some of it good some bad.
Trip hop, chill out, dance.

How did you set up to jam to dub just play some dub tracks on a cd or record player, or record your own.

Bit of both dude. It usually started with jamming along to some stuff and then just going off on tangents depending on what drugs we'd been taking and what instruments we were using. We'd record hours and hours of it sometimes then listen back and ********** ourselves. Some of it was quite cool. Most of it was absolute shyte.

Being a drummer, it also depended on what kit i was playing. With Dub, its all about dynamics and sounds, which on an acoustic kit is obviously a little harder to achieve than on an electronic set of drums, which are also heaps easier to record.

Either way, it was heaps of fun.

Yeh sounds pretty fun Im not a musician but Id be happy to convince my friends to try it out then i could just sit around listening to whatever they come up with, although a couple of them are obsessed with Mettalica, so it wouldnt be long before they'd try and hijak the jam, a Dub beat with various mettalica covers-could be interesting

Kiwi boss i had a few years back used to always play them and other similar bands on the way to jobs. Surprised myself by getting to like it. Remember one track about a combi van
