Dub product is a vibrant and atmospheric subgenre of reggae, rooted deeply in the art of remixing and characterized by its instrumental prowess. Pioneered in the 1960s and '70s in Jamaica, this genre emphasizes the rhythm section, creating a mesmeric soundscape through the manipulation of existing recordings. Artists and bands like the Bullwackies All Stars and Roots Radics have significantly shaped its evolution by stripping down tracks to their drum and bass elements, and then layering these with echo, reverb, and delay effects. The production process often involves remixing tracks to highlight certain instruments or vocals and sometimes even removing them, resulting in a spacey and ethereal sound that's both hypnotic and danceable. Dub product serves not just as music for listening, but as a sonic experiment that has influenced genres far beyond its roots, from electronic music to hip-hop.
