Dub music is a genre that originated in the late 1960s in Jamaica, evolving from reggae music. It emphasizes instrumental tracks, often featuring heavy use of reverb, echo, and other audio effects. Dub music typically involves remixing existing recordings, stripping down vocals, and highlighting the rhythm and bass. The genre gained popularity in the 1970s, with influential producers like King Tubby and Lee "Scratch" Perry pioneering its sound. Dub music has since influenced various styles, including electronic music, hip-hop, and dancehall, making it a significant part of modern music culture.
