Tune(s) of the Week: Dubs from Tubby's Studio

When King Tubby decided to build his own studio in his home he set up one of the most unique studio setups on the island. His studio served only for recording vocals and mostly for mixing dubs. This environment helped to create a particularly creative space for art of dub. Here are two of the most abstract mixes performed by Tubby’s most renown apprentices: Prince Jammy and Scientist. Jammy nearly takes the drums completely out of the mix and replaces it was long, distorting echoes. I’m not sure what effect Scientist has on those drums, but they sound otherworldly!
