Dub music
Dub music is a genre that originated from reggae in the late 1960s and emphasizes instrumental remixes. It focuses on remixing existing recordings by emphasizing the bass and drum elements, often with echo, reverb, and other effects to create a spacious, immersive sound. Producers manipulate tracks to highlight rhythm and atmosphere, resulting in a hypnotic, experimental vibe. Dub is both a standalone musical style and a foundational influence on genres like dancehall and electronic music. Its emphasis on production techniques and sonic experimentation makes it a distinctive and innovative form within reggae and beyond.
