Dub is the genre that brings a deep, bass-heavy twist to reggae, characterized by its use of reverb, delay, and innovative studio techniques. Emerging in the late 1960s and early 70s, it was pioneered by producers like King Tubby, Lee "Scratch" Perry, and Scientist, who brought a creative, experimental approach to reggae. Dub's hypnotic grooves and spacious soundscapes make it a distinctive and influential genre. Today, it continues to thrive, with new producers and artists exploring its deep, immersive sound and pushing its boundaries.
