Dub: The Art of Versioning

Every bit as pioneering as its musical sibling, Dub Reggae harnesses the technical art of remixing, thanks to visionaries like King Tubby and Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry. Their experimental studio techniques gave rise to echo-laden, bass-heavy tracks that invite deep listening experiences.
