Members dragon9666 Posted September 9, 2006 Members Share Posted September 9, 2006 Before every meal, I say a prayer- "Rub-a-dub-dub Thanks for the grub. Those who eats the fastest eats the mostest!" My grandfather used to say that to be funny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twenty dollars worth of anything, especially narcotics4. Twenty-inch rims5. The art of making a remix, especially a reggae song, in which the lyrics are all or partially removed and the focus is placed on the drum track and the bass6.

Members Jazz Ad Posted September 9, 2006 Members Share Posted September 9, 2006 Well yeah, basically reggae riddims with little to no lyrics, very heavy tone and overuse of effects, mainly compression and tape delays.At first it was a studio trick, now with modern gear people can do it on stage and it went from a producer game to a full style. Now stop reading, listen.I tried to pick up something recent and very typical of the style at the same time. Listening to dub is also a very convenient way to remove dust from your bass speakers.

Members nosamiam Posted September 9, 2006 Members Share Posted September 9, 2006 http://www.myspace.com/dubtrio Listen to 'Drive By Dub'. Also see: http://www.dubtrio.com/newheavy/ They do this stuff live. Even when they record they do it live to tape. Like JazzAd said, very heavy use of effects. Used to be studio-only remixes of reggae songs. Now bands are starting to do it live. Bass tone is HEAVY!!! DEEEEEEP!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bholder Posted September 9, 2006 Members Share Posted September 9, 2006 I used to hear it used as a synonym for "joint", but that seems long out of fashion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dubwolf Posted September 9, 2006 Members Share Posted September 9, 2006 They pretty much got it. The term does originate in reggae from the Dub Plates (or b sides) that producers would create by removing the vocals or just using snippets of vocals. These could be used in dancehalls so the DJ could toast over the instrumental tracks, sort of a forrunner of rap. It can also be characterized by echo and reverb used on the track (instruments or vocals). For early reggae dub check out King Tubby or Lee Scratch Perry. A good recent example would be Massive Attack who have some dub influence (and the wicked Horace Andy on vocals here and there). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jazz Ad Posted September 9, 2006 Members Share Posted September 9, 2006 Although Bristol sound and trip-hop in general are heavily influenced by dub, I wouldn't say they're the same style of music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. If you like dub, you should certainly check it/them out though. Or, if you're interested in hearing something similar, it certainly fits the bill. For the record, you should listen to massive attack. Specifically their album Mezzanine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jazz Ad Posted September 9, 2006 Members Share Posted September 9, 2006 The song I posted is from the band Zenzile.They're french. Surprisingly, dub revival is very active around here and several bands are considered as very important.There are a few songs rotating on their site, you will get a new one when you refresh. For classics, Lee 'Scratch' Perry (pretty much the father of the style), the Scientist and King Tubby are major dub artists. Newer bands : Mad Professor, the Disciples, Zion Train, Ez3kiel (other french band). You gotta love how deep bass can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence the "dub influence" part:) Edit: For a real treat check out Mad Professor's remix of MA's Protection Album. Mmmm, dubby:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dubwolf Posted September 9, 2006 Members Share Posted September 9, 2006 Bill Laswell has put out a couple of dub albums as well (what, like 30 or so....) and did a wicked one off album with Jah Wobble.

Yeah, I noticed really strong dub®gae scene in Orléans when I stayed there last summer. It was great, I stacked up on Lee Perry and Scientist stuff wich I had only seen in online stores before.
