Dub Revolution: Jamaica’s Sonic Innovators and the Birth of Remix Culture with David Katz

Emerging as an underground phenomenon in Kingston during the early 1970s, dub was wrought by sonic alchemists such as King Tubby, Lee 'Scratch' Perry, Prince Jammy and Scientist, conjuring musical mutations at the mixing desk. Dub reached other lands through the Jamaican diaspora and as Lloyd 'Bullwackie' Barnes furthered the form in New York, Dennis Bovell, Mad Professor and Adrian Sherwood conjured their own dub masterworks in London. 

Through first-hand testimony with dub's most noteworthy creatives, David Katz's monumental forensic history of an astounding subgenre stands as the authoritative book on a musical art form that continues to fascinate generation after generation.

David will be joined in conversation by Lloyd Bradley, author of Bass Culture: When Reggae Was King.
