The Sound of Dub Product

"The Sound of Dub Product" is a heavyweight dive into vintage dub and version culture, stacked with deep cuts and stripped-down b-sides from the golden era of reggae production. The playlist showcases key players like the Soul Syndicate and Rupie Edwards All Stars, while spotlighting a wide range of unsung All Stars outfits—each putting their own minimal, echo-drenched spin on classic riddims. From the gritty horns of "Cool Rockers" by The Arabs to the delay-drenched grooves of "Rockers Dub" by Rockers All Stars, this selection rolls heavy with atmosphere and studio experimentation.

Pulling from nearly every corner of the dub ecosystem, the playlist offers everything from rootsy meditations like "Tribute to Studio One" by Bullwackies All Stars to reverb-heavy versions like "King Tubby's Time" by World Wide All Stars. The heavy use of versions—unique instrumental takes on vocal hits—cements this playlist as a nod to the producer-centric nature of the genre. "The Sound of Dub Product" is ideal for digging into layered mixes, raw rhythm sections, and the creative engineering wizardry that helped shape the evolution of dub.
