I Need Some Dub Suggestions..

Sign in to disble this ad
Okay, I am on a mission to dub. I've got fair amount in my collection from artists like Augustus Pablo, Black Uhuru, Sly & Robbie and Family Man Barrett. Can anyone suggest some must own type of stuff? Listening to a dub album from Bad Brains at the moment, I & I Survived (Dub). It's got a few cool tracks on it. Here's a sample....

Jah Love

Any suggestions would be appreciated...

Keith Hudson! I only have "Pick A Dub", but I'd bet his other albums are worth a listen too.

Good stuff! Thanks to each of you. I've got a little Scratch Perry and just remembered that I also have some dub from Aswad & Niney The Observer. Have to dig that out. Most of the stuff that was suggested is music that I have not heard before. That's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks again....

Have you checked out the Trojan dub collections? They're great. Also, The Upsetters are always great, they played on most of Lee 'Scratch' Perry's early stuff.

There's a California band called Groundation that has some really amazing recordings. They released dub versions of a lot of their songs.

Also, nobody mentioned Midnite, who are keeping it real moreso than any band in reggae right now. They have a few dub releases.

Also check out Twilight Circus Dub Sound System for a more recent (but retro) approach to the art.

check out adrian sherwood and on-u sound (asian dub foundation, tackhead, dub syndicate and more):
On-U Sound | official website » dub syndicate
and of course bill laswell:
THE Bill Laswell Pages
these are some more modern offerings.
dub (using the console as an instrument) has grown far beyond
it's roots as b-side mixes to reggae singles for toasters,
but there's nothing like the source.
