What is DUB? A Beginner’s Guide to Dub Music!

If you listen to Western music even a little, you’ve probably heard the terms dubstep or dubwise.

Still, many people may not be quite sure what “dub” actually means.

Dub is a genre that originated in Jamaica; put simply, it refers to remixes.

In this piece, I’ll focus on three genres: reggae dub, where it originated, and the effect-heavy styles of dubwise and dubstep.

I also explain individual tracks, so if you’re not very familiar with EDM, be sure to read to the end.
