Dub emerged from the studios of Kingston, Jamaica in the '60s and went on to become one of the 20th century's most influential music genres in both form and function. Its thread can be discerned in a wild number of music styles, from hip hop, disco, drum & bass, trip hop, dubstep and more. And let's not forget – without dub, we wouldn't have the remix!
In tribute, we've collected together 50 killer dub albums. Many of them are seminal, proto-dub records by JA originators like Lee Perry, King Tubby, Prince Jammy and others, but we've also included some classics plucked from the "dub diaspora" – the second wave of dub music that emerged in the UK with pioneers like Adrian Sherwood (On U Sound), Jah Shaka, Linton Kwesi Johnson and Mad Professor, up to modern electronica/glitch-dub practitioners like Berlin's Stefan Betke (Pole) and Burnt Friedman.
