MUSIC / GUIDE

Explore dub events

Dub makes space, echo and changes in the mix part of the music alongside bass and drums. The gaps and the room's low-frequency sound can be as absorbing as the notes. Record selections, electronic crossovers and live manipulation each create a different experience.

How to choose a session

  • Look for record selections, live performance or live dub mixing in the programme.
  • Use reggae, bass and electronic tags to understand the direction of the selection.
