    Back in 1977, the Punk scene was so new in London that few actual Punk albums existed to play in Punk clubs. So DJ Don Letts played Reggae albums overhead - specifically Dub. This infusion was one of the primary sparks that created Post-Punk - and every scene after. Lee Perry was a creator of the world we know today.

    I just found out Lee "Scratch" Perry died yesterday.
    I could post 100 videos and songs and still not get the point across of how influential and tremendously talented he was.
    Some of the best Dub Reggae projects I've ever heard included him. Obviously Beastie Boys but Mad Professor, Bill Laswell, Bob Marley, Max Romeo, Junior Murvin... the list is literally endless.
    When I first heard of Lee Perry I heard he burned down his Kingston Jamaica Music Studio because he thought it was haunted. A Madman. A fucking genius of epic proportions. His body of music and influence speaks for itself and will be doing so until the end of time.
    Rest in Peace. Jah Bless

      @@mr.raymzdaphonix6587 Seriously people GET A GRIP! As much as i love Dub - the idea that ALL roots of electronic music let alone ALL MUSIC is based on Reggae is one of the dumbest things i have ever heard. Reggae itself evolved out of Rocksteady and Ska, wich evolved out of Rhythm & Blues, Gospell etc. - so how the hell can Reggae be "the root of all music"? And electronic music existed long before reggae, it started with Lew Thermin and his Theremin in 1920 and Friedrich Trautwein and his Trautonium in 1930, later Radiophonic Workshop in UK, Studio for Electronic Music in Cologne, San Francisco Center for Tape Music and the Musique Concrete circle in Paris - all in the FIFTIES - long before Reggae existed, then Moog invented the first Synthesizer in the early Sixties, still a few years before Reggae existed.
      And even after Reggae came up there were still electronic music styles who had absoluetly no Reggae or Dub influences at all.
      Hip Hop, Drum & Bass, Dubstep and Dubtechno are obviously influenced by Dub and Soundsystem culture but Ambient Music, Industrial, EBM, Trance, Techno and House have no ties to Reggae at all.
      -Techno was basically a mix of afroamerican Funk and Jazz influences and european electronic music like Kraftwerk, Front 242, Cabaret Voltaire etc.
      - House was basically a mix of Funk, Jazz and even Gospel combined with european Disco music
      - Ambient evolved out of early academic electronic music and Berlin school "cosmic music" wich evolved out of Krautrock
      - Trance evolved out of Berlin school sequencer music and early techno and EBM influences
      - EBM developed out of Industrial music, minimal electronic music and Punk attitude,
      - Industrial was developed as part of performance art
