DubGenre     AV     Essentially reggae with vocals removed, heavy emphasis on bass and drums, and extensive use of studio production techniques such as delay, reverb, and dubbing of vocal and instrumental snippets over the beat. The sound is spacious, relaxed, and minimal. Dub was spurred by the popularity of instrumental versions of reggae tracks at sound system parties, and originally began to be commercially released as producer-led instrumental B-sides of 45 rpm reggae singles in the late 1960s. The style gained popularity and developed its own following, creating its own star artists, such as the melodicist Augustus Pablo and the producer King Tubby. Often cited as a major precursor to and forefather of contemporary electronic dance music - the concept of remixing is believed to have originated with dub.
