Dub music is a genre that originated in the late 1960s in Jamaica. It evolved from reggae music and is characterized by its heavy use of reverb, echo, and other audio effects. Dub music often features instrumental versions of reggae tracks, allowing producers to manipulate the sound creatively. The genre gained popularity through influential artists like King Tubby and Lee "Scratch" Perry, who pioneered the art of remixing. Dub music has since influenced various styles, including electronic music and hip-hop, and continues to be celebrated for its innovative soundscapes and rhythmic complexity.
