What's some classic dub records?
Is dub really a subgenre of reggae, or something else entirely?
Is it one of the most underrated genres of music considering its extremely heavy influence on a lot of modern music sensibilities? If so, why did it end up like that? Is it because reggae isn't so popular on its own?

OP, i don't really listen to dub or know much about it but i just wanted to say i appreciate you for trying to start an actual discussion on here and i hope somebody responds

Grayson Martinez
It has no appeal to me whatsoever. I appreciate that it had a lot of influence on many genres of music that I like such as hip-hop, and it can even be argued that these genres would not even exist in the way they do without dub, but it has no appeal on its own for me. I don't think I am alone in that. It's just... lame?

Would you guys say that dub is more a singles genre or an album genre? Or something else entirely, since it's heavily involved in remixing?
Elijah Kelly
Dub was literally created out of b-sides, it's a singles genre definitely

Dub is a subgenre of reggae with a focus on rhythm (drums & bass), atmosphere (heavy use of reverb and echo) and repetition. I wouldn't say it's particularly underrated seeing as it's very influential and plenty of people like it.

I've always loved dub techno and "ambient dub" but never understood how they were related to dub reggae. I've listened to a few of the essentials and it just sounds like regular reggae with occasional echoing effects- I don't really see how it's related enough to warrant having genres named after it
Liam Phillips
dubs confirm

the name is pretty self-explanatory. dub techno is supposed to sound like a normal techno song broken down into dub track the way a reggae song would be
Nicholas Cox
they use dub production techniques, a mixing desk with FX units on auxiliar channels
Angel Baker
