Born in small recording studios in Kingston, Jamaica, reggae

dub or `version' was the offspring of a few electronic wizard reggae

producers. Dub is what would have happened when these producers took

pre-existing reggae tracks, edit out the vocals as well as most

accompanying instruments (except the rhythm section) and drop them in and

out of the mix. Echoes and reverbs and rebounds and swells and stretches

were added - generally creating a fully mind-and-body bending, primitive

yet sophisticated, techno-atavistic, root futurist kind of minimal

hypno-trance music. By pulling the instrument and vocal tracks in and out,

the producers formed an exciting rhythmic tease, a sort of musical fan

dance in which one part of the piece was revealed, then covered, only to

showcase yet another element. From the moment this new sound was unveiled

in the dance halls, dub fever raged throughout Jamaica. Traveling sound

systems provided the vibe - created by two turntables, a few huge

amplifiers, and a bunch of outrageous characters - the DJ's or toasters.

Who is it you're going to see?

 

Jah Shaka and Aba Shanti are 2 of the best on the scene - these 2 know about bass, and are well worth seeing.

Saying that, it's not really advisable if you get sick easily - have heard of people puking cos the bass was so heavy ... it's even been known to rattle the fillings out of peoples teeth grin.gif

Whoever it is you're seeing, i'm sure you'll have a great time and meet some top people there thumbs.gif
