Dub Music For the Summer
Today I bring you a fine selection of dub CD's that I have picked up this Summer from the wonderful website, millions of records, where they have many discount CDs and records, with a lovely selection on emphasis on reggae and dub music.
Now that it's Summer again, I find a particular fondness for pulling out the dub mixes, loving to ride my bike and blast these jams. Here is but a few of the new stuff I've been playing, for your enjoyment:
King Tubby
The Dub Master Vol. 1
2002
King Tubby pioneered the Dub Music movement, taking his skills from radio and television repair into the disc cutting realm and later into the hi-fi sound systems, eventually earning a reputation for making custom dub plate instrumentals and remixing tracks in his studio. King Tubby's name is still synonymous with dub music, even more than 30 years since of his untimely and unsolved death outside of his studio. His influence continues to this day and we are blessed with his trail of records that he has left us, this being just one of many compilations featuring his work.
Sly & Robbie
Dubs for Tubs: A Tribute To King Tubby
1990
Here is an album of some of the biggest names in reggae and dub. Sly & Robbie was probably the most infamous rhythm section in reggae, playing on countless records since the 1970s. This record came out in 1990, just shortly after King Tubby's death in 1989. The "digital dub" stuff can perhaps sound a little bit dated, but the electronic drums also can point to the future and how this remix genre was always evolving.
Mad Professor
Dub Me Crazy Part Five: Who Knows The Secret Of The Master Tape?
1985
Mad Professor's career really begins in the 1980s, after he built his studio. Another electronics wiz-turned producer, This man has dozens and dozens of records under his belt. This recording is fifth in his long running series called "Dub Me Crazy," which began in 1982, the most recent installment being called "Covid Illusion." 🤔
Back in the 90s, his "Black Liberation Dub" series is another great example of him carrying the dub torch through a new generation of music and popular culture, while remaining true to it's roots. Here, we can hear how he used the technical breakthroughs of the 80s and channeled it into his own sound.
The Aggravators
Rasta Dub '76
1976
The Aggravators was producer Bunny Lee's house band, including Robbie Shakespeare on this album. He was well known for his "flying cymbals" sound, and I think we get an example of that sound on this track. This record is filled with super warm sounding roots vibes that are sure to set the mood.
Thanks for reading, I hope you liked my post and found some great tunes to check out!

Dub music is one of the most peaceful vibes, nothing like chilling in nature with a bunch of good people just blazing time by.
I found this modern day dub instrumental mix, been using it when studying or jut for background music, real chill vibes!
That mad professor was funky! Damn you know more about dub than most Jamaicans. Where afre you from?
I am by no means an expert, but I am pretty well-rounded when it comes to music! Yeah, I found these dub mixes last year on YouTube that I was really getting into called "heavy dub selection."
And there is 11 volumes of them, currently-with a new one added a few months ago that I haven't checked out yet!
I'm from Cleveland, Ohio! My stack of dub CD's is getting pretty high now...I'm sure I'll be posting some more soon enough!
Dub is the best! Nice selection.
Check out some "Prince Jammy" Dubs...😉
I have his "computerised dub" record from the 80s...it's amazing! Love busting it out in DJ sets.
I am curious to more of the "digital dub" sound since I am a huge 80s electro hip hop fan and I'm sure there is some crossover there that I don't know about
Got it on Vinyl. Dope record!
Yeah the 80s sound is special...sometimes total trash & sometimes absolute classics!😊
Keep up the good work. 👏🎵
