Dub is an experimental and influential Jamaican music genre that grew out of reggae in the 1960s. The style consists of instrumental remixes of existing reggae recordings and is achieved by significantly altering and reshaping the recordings, usually through the emphasis of bass and drums, the application of studio effects such as echo and reverb, and the occasional dubbing of vocal or instrumental snippets from the original version. The genre is heavily linked to Jamacian sound system culture and has had a huge influence on the development of various music genres such as hip hop, jungle, post punk, dubstep, dub techno and ambient. I hope you enjoy the video !!!

big ups
Fight the power!
Fuck #YT!!!
Finally, thank you. Was wondering why I cadn't find this
Been hoping to find a documentary like this for years. Jamaica is the birthplace of all the music culture I love; hip hop, jungle, dub / steppers, early dubstep and so on. Lovely to hear an Aussie accent on it too! Respect
Always baffles me when people say dub emphazsizes the bass. No. Every other genre deemphasizes it. Dub gets it right.
Right on!
The music is in the mids. This is responsible for the booming bass many old people can't stand. Kaine Salvation is one of the greatest pieces of music of all time, and has hardly any bass.
I'm guessing you see the glass half empty
My favorite dub music is pretty rich in all registers. But that distinctive dub-style bass groove is divine.
As a Trinidadian who grew up in Britain in the 90s and 2000s, it really can't be understated how much dub and soundsystem culture has influenced my music taste, starting with hip hop and dub proper, then the emergence of dubstep, moving into dub techno and then UK techno/bass music which is the natural evolution of OG dubstep. Even today, especially in the British techno scene you can see how central dub is and people are still reinterpreting it and applying it to electronic music styles in forward ways.
Dub is one of the most influential genres ever. It's everywhere, but it's in the shadows. It's almost as if you were listening to the ghost of a song (the echoing instruments), as well as its skeleton (drum and bass).
Obeah Music. Which is African Nature so you’re right there where it comes from Jamaica, rooted in African (West African) traditions
you can probably take the love of bass a bit further back too, when pipe organs could finally use electric motors for the blowers in the 1920's or so, they started making 32 foot high pipes, which could make pure sinewaves of around 16-30hz or there abouts. Pipe organs around that time were pretty much the synths of the time.
excellent point. the pipe organs are still imposing to this day...
plus, no doubt they experimented too even back then w/ all kinds of approaches and compositions, it's just that we only produced and kept record of a certain flavor, probably highly curtained by what was permissible in the given avenues where these massive instruments were installed...
we can be certain they did play around w/ frequencies and rhythm and they loved that low end, the first time our species was hearing such low end in a musical form at impressive sound pressure levels, just like god intended bass to be... :):):)
@@duroxkilo Lions and tigers produce low end that low. Lions even produce growls below 20Hz.
Damn shame that such great music documentaries can be a target for the copyright mafia
hopefully it won't get nuked again

@@flowerboy_0881this song made me puke
It's particularly stupid for brief excerpts that are only going to promote the original, not compete with it, as in this video.
@@NuisanceMan I'm pretty sure if it was taken to court it would win on fair use exceptions (possibly) .... however good luck getting the cash to fight a battle with a big record label in court. They will waste millions to win a copyright claim that probably made the person making the documentary no money, and by extension cost them no money also, just because they want to stamp out any attempt at legally using their stuff for free. It's the same behaviour that's partially destroyed so many music scenes when they get big enough, and cross artist sharing no longer thrives like in the earlier days of said scene. :(
Subsonic bass is the most addictive feeling in music to me, it has gotten me through hard times and i can hear it my head when im listening to music that has it but the audio system is not capable of producing it.
Reggae is in many ways the forefather of electronic music and its nice to see content paying homage to it.
Im always reminiscing of those wonderful scoops at channel one... nice hf too. Very warm😊
When I tell someone in Germany that I mainly listen to dub music, the response is usually something like "oh my little brother used to listen to skrillex." if I don't find the endurance and time to explain to them the concept of dub and its musical/cultural significance and influence, I'll generally just answer "uhm yeah, have a great day sir. "
From now on, I'll just send them this documentary! Great summary of an amazing subculture. Would just have wished for a little spotlight on today's reggae/dub soundsystem culture that has spread internationaly out of the UK at the end of the video. But anyway great work ❤
I still listen to Skrillex new and upcoming music, and even unreleased IDs as of 28th March 2024, but I get the same thing when I mention dubstep. I'm mainly listening to dubstep by Marauda, NIMDA, Teminite, Au5, Evilwave, but people only know Skrillex.
You wouldn't get that response from me, because I know about dub. I researched everything about the roots of dubstep when I first heard brostep on BBC radio 1. I still listen to modern deep dubstep, which is in the style of classic dubstep too.
They must have missed the entire techno scene from the 90s. Wub wub und Bassgefühl kannte doch jeder damals.
@@KoruvaxDie 90er waren vor 30 Jahren.
Rip Lee Scratch Perry the Upsetter
UB 40's "Present arms in dub" and The Clash got me in to the wonderful world of dub music.
King Tubby Meets The Rockers Uptown.The Mother Of All Dubs.
Every time I go looking for a video about my favorite music you show up. Great documentaries & immaculate taste
Excellent! Pablo and "Curse of the Vampires" were my introductions to dub as well! Dub has engrained my life, from my bass playing to my production techniques to the way I conceive music and art, dub will never die!
One can say that the delta blues defined classic rock in the 60's and 70's, one can also say that the reggae sound systems of the 60's and 70's defined pretty much the whole of modern dance and rap music. A great deal of modern music terminology is drawn directly from the sound systems such as "drop" (derived from the sound system practice of "dropping the bass") and MC (short for Master of Ceremonies").
"Dub" is another such term. It generally refers to an instrumental and heavily remixed version of an instance of a particular riddim as recorded for a particular reggae song (usually many reggae songs would be released based on a single new riddim track but mostly the riddim would be re-recorded for each song to give it it's own flavour). Most often they would appear as the B-sides of the song in question and were usually called "versions", sometimes "dub". Sound system selectors (equivalent to DJs) would usually have two copies of very popular tunes and would play the versions back to back for some time while aspiring singers (occasionally established special guest stars) associated with the sound system would take turns "toasting" (aka chanting in reggae, otherwise known as rapping) freestyle over the version. This practice was copied in the US with the birth of Hip Hop and Rap towards the end of the 70's. Yes, the reggae sound systems invented rap.
Also important was the "dub plate" or "dub plate special". These were were one-off recordings cut straight to acetate in the studio and were either unique versions of an existing popular riddim, a significant variation, or a brand new riddim. They were commissioned by the sound system owners and often represented their signature sound which featured prominently in their sets. These dub plates were not released and were jealously guarded by all the sound systems, usually there would be only one or possibly two copies of them in existence.
The Jamaican music scene is so dope
Insane documentary. I learned so much! Also the jungle track at 22:45 made my jaw drop. I'm mainly into jungle, and before watching this I didn't know a thing about dub, but after watching this whole thing, I was immediately able to recognize the distinct sound of dub in jungle tracks I've already been listening to for a long time. Super cool!
If you want to explore the perfect cross-section of dub and jungle, look no further than the label 45seven out of Germany. It shows how jungle IS dub. 🫡
Legendary track, big up to all junglists out there
I don't know anything about dub either and jungle seems amazing! There's this compilation called "heavy 70s dub" and it's a good start.
Why us who came before you know today's music influences and fashion.
I remember being at dancehalls with so much energy and wishing they would sometimes speed it up. Then jungle came along but I was no longer hyperactive 😂
Loved you're original video. This is great too.
I grew up in Berkeley, California and started working for a promoter when I 12. I used to go to so many Dub and Ska shows and got to hang out in the back with legends like King Tubby, Lee Scratch Perry and many Dub singers and Ska legends.
It's been forever but the last guy I hung out with was Mikey Dread many years ago Amazing times.
He's back and with the reupload I was hoping for 🙌🏿🔥🔥🔥
I KNEW I ain't unsub for a reason. The great Turismo has blessed us again!!
Amazing how so much of the electronic music I love today has been influenced by Dub! Great video!!
Excellent crucial production, the most best
Masterpiece. Thank you for collecting and curating this sacred knowledge of bass.
Top Doc...Accurate.....Modern Techno Dub would not exist without the pre--digital pioneers and equipment mentioned.
I'm so glad you're back. Take your time with the next documentary. They're always excellent
Great doc my friend--BUT, you must re-edit to add a segment about producer Adrian Sherwood and the legendary On-U Sound label who brought from the late 70s through today some of the most prolific range of dub and extended genre of related music. From bands like Dub Syndicate, Prince Far-i, Singers & Players, Tachead sound system, Gary Clail, Missing Brazilians, several Lee Perry colaborations, the list goes on and on. The amazing compilations like Pay it all back vol 1-5. All of this represents an epic era of British based dub from that fertile period spanning before and after the 80's. Adrian Sherwood is legendary and one of the first and few producers from the uk to actually travel to Jamaica to record and produce dub from that era. His and the artists he worked with have massively contributed to the genre. I hope you will give them the props they so rightly deserve. They could use their own video if you feel me. Would be unbelievably interesting. Grateful for your insights and work with this video though, quite good! Loving it!😎👍
I was waiting this documentary a looong time ago... I have to say thanks a lot for make it real this dream. After your Memphis rap documentary i confirmed my opinion about your works: amazingly good quality documentary
tysm
Amazing thanks a lot, Soundsystem Culture from all the globe will apreciate this! Here from Santiago, Chile.
loved the dj screw documentary cant believe we're blessed with a soundsystem culture one. It's funny bc i always listened to chopped and screwed and only recently got deep into dnb/jungle rave music i truly enjoy these deep dives to get an appreciation for the culture and its history, which imo adds to the music enjoyment experience as a whole big ups mane🤘
gang i got screwfluenced music on my soundcloud ong with my homies, we build soundsystems and live in houston look up JYANIGMA big up all love rip screw
ua-cam.com/video/AqnQ7g80IeU/v-deo.html 🥳🥳🥳
Yes!!!!
I got interested in dub because of the influences it played in my favorites childhood band; sublime. This little doc is underrated. I really wanted to know the origins of the style and I feel like I came away with more information than I was looking for. Cheers!
Great documentary. I am into dub since about 30 years, but you deliver a lot of information I wasn’t aware of although reading a lot about dub and reggae.❤
I used to be an absolute dub addict I live to play every moment I could spend all my spare money in a record shop sometimes more than I can afford King Tubby and yabbyu being my favourites. But it is riddled with African voodoo, and its basis is of the occult and the day I took Christ is my saviour my vast record collection went into the bin this music Let Me Down a very dangerous path and I'm glad to be free of it
You make the best documentaries on yt. You fr should be getting tv deals.
This is the genius source of hip-hop
I think we due for another SGP update video 🔥 Him getting another shot at a rolling loud set in march is dope and unexpected to say the least
What would you like me to talk about. Also super hyped for that rolling loud set
HE GOT SHOT ?
And he's said to perform early next year at a big festival
@@Turismo4k I definitely think there's a good amount to cover. He has had a clear resurgence not in music necessarily but in internet culture with his social media antics at their peak, and u could cover stuff like VODECI and Jewelxxet
@@shiina4861 vodeci was a flop wish they took that serious
Hell yes! Missed your uploads! Thanks for reposting this
Oh and I can highly recommend Easy Star All Stars as a mainstream entry point to dub, having done dub cover albums of famous artists from The Beatles to Radiohead and Pink Floyd
I was looking at this channel yesterday to see if it was still active. Seeing the notification for a Turismo video made me grin uncontrollably.
Love your content so much!
You’ve introduced me to so many interesting music scenes.
Hope you’ll make more in the future.
Marry Christmas everyone
I love your these videos you really blow my mind with the new music you show me
I went to a psytrance festival that also played Dub. You nailed it about the reasons. Great stuff
Delay is still a cornerstone of popular dubstep today. Tonal delay, flanger, chorus, and convolution reverb are key components of the sound design, and delay is still commonly used on impacts and synth leads in melodic sections on melodies, arpegios, and even offbeat chord stabs.
Wow amazing documentary man. Editing was spot on and I learnt a whole lot 😁
I've been trying to see this for the longest my man lmao. can't wait to see the next one these are fire
awesome video.....in 1990 i used to go hang out with some rastas in their shack and smoke weed and listen to tunes with them and one day one of the guys, patrick, gave me a tape with scientist on....i was blown away and am still a fan of dub music today
Love your videos man. Hype to see you back. 🤙
the bass drum and the bass guitar are the sexiest sound in music history
Thanks. I like the way you paced and balanced the chronology and key developments.
Amazing video.
thanks for posting !! ...for me it's a very excellent short film , i loved the background music with the narration , congrats and keep the good work !!! ...
What an amazing video!! Thanks for sharing!!🙏🏼✝️❤️
Welcome back. We missed you ❤
Love these videos man keep it up
Finally! You returned. Are we gonna get the SoundCloud video?
most definitely. long time coming
Incredible work in creating a stellar video. Great sounds and stylish visuals.
Where have you been ??? You don’t understand how many times I’ve rewatched your videos. I’ve been waiting for a new one after 2 years. Im happy you’re back tho.
This was an excellent documentary with some great insights and recommendations. I learned a bit and was entertained a lot. Thanks, great work.
Glad this is back
Pure good vibes 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Here in the countryside of France, the rave scene is mainly dark and angry. I often see it as Sound system culture that forgot it's roots. No more toasting and love, just mp3 tracks and loads of drugs. Sad to see.
Some Sounds remember and keep the culture alive and well and these kind of documentary help in that process, thankyou.
Always remember where you come from.
Yessirrrr so glad youre back
So well made. Thanks a lot for the knowledge.
This is just the beginning, turismo is back baybeeeee
Thanks for this great Doc. outstanding resurch material and a great introduction for those not coming from this great era of sounds. Vincent
You should add a segment on Adrian Sherwood and On-u Sound - he has produced some excellent Lee Scratch Perry albums over the last 30 years, revitalising his career in the late '80s early 90's and doing similar with Horace Andy.
Wondered where this video had gone, glad it’s back
respect for this video brethren
YO LETS GO
good to see you uploading
big ups Turismo; long time coming!
great doc, lots of new stuff to look into
Ahh this is still my favorite channel ever I’m always coming back and rewatching these docs
I love it! Thanks for sharing!
Good doco. I learnt a lot!
Wonderful & informative video, thank you brother! appreciate it
HES MADE THE RETURN
This was really well made thank you man
amazing work, thanks so much for sharing...
great video! thank you for shining light on the beautiful and deep tradition of dub, but what about Subatomic Sound System?! Lots of love from Missouri..
Awesome re-upload
These producers were the pioneers of Stems, which are widely used in the DJ community today. Dub is certainly one of the most influential genres ever!
No WAYYY he's back
Hes back. Wahoo!!
Thanks for this awesome video !
What a video. Just great. Thanks.
Oh hell yes I loved this doc
Great documentary, thank you!
This legend uploads a essay on dub what a fucking chap
Very interesting!! Good Job!
YES! Finality back up!
As someone who’s recently just begun their journey into Dub, this was an extremely inspiring and helpful video into understanding the genre.
check out a documentary called musically mad
FINALLY HE’S BACK!!
friday night, cold drink on deck, rollin up a heater, turismo documentary drop. so set up rn
Holy shit he’s back
Great documentary covering how important musical history maybe a lot of people haven’t been able exposed to.
If I can give some constructive criticism it would be to edit your connecting sections with a little less delay. I’m all for your relaxed style in general, but some of the transitions are a bit jarring as if you’re taking too long of a breath between sections.
Great research and in depth work however. I’ve met and hung out with Mad Professor and it is truly amazing how he works the board as an instrument.
Nice work, Turismo. I agree with many of your great picks. One I would definitely recommend checking out is the mighty Linton Kwesi Johnson!
great selection all through this.
dope again man !!
OH MY GOD ITS BACK
This is all early hip-hop
Fr jamaica 🇯🇲
It's back! 🥳
YAY ITS BACK!
