Dub.

I am sitting here inputting linguistic data from Mayan languages that I don't understand, and the only thing making it tolerable is this Agustus Pablo "King Tubby Meets Rockers Uptown" LP that is melting my mind. Shocking since I live in Santa Cruz, but I really haven't gotten nearly into the world of Jamaican music as much as I want to. I've got that one Sister Nancy with "Bam Bam", the Johnny Osborne "Truth and Rights", and a few others here and there that I don't really listen to, but I am for the most part uneducated other than knowing names here and there, and seeing some great shows locally of artists who I have managed to forget the names of. The good stuff just doesn't show up in the real world too often for me.Plaese to reccomend, both records and mixtapes. I know Paycheck has crazy OG JA dub material (where did that dub mix go? I can't find it.), and Mr. Reggae Under Raps has got to have some heaters as well.

JP's latest dub mixx was dope as well, must've blown up the innernet cause he took it down
These guys went all Zack De La Rocha circa late 2004 but I have some live sets of them in 2003/04 which are great.
No doubt. Witness the Pitness
I see JP just pulled a Zodiac Sounds w/ chicken scratch on the cover. Maybe if he's bored at work tomorrow he can rip it

This is exactly the sound I'm talking about right here. Thanks a ton man!
very good stuff
also the Prince Fari Dub Encounters Chapter 3 (with the Slits) is out there
Tried to upload the album this came from but Divshare was asking me to log in, Sendspace and Yousendit crapped out on me. The era of free uploading is coming to an end people.
This is pretty much my favorite Dub LP (that I own), maybe coz it's not that dubby, together with the Zodiac Sounds and Java Java Java. I'm definitely more into the Rocksteady sounds than a lot of the later stuff that tends to put me in a bit of a coma.
This page has a bunch of dub mp3s. Crappy quality but you'll get the idea.
Yes, very good mix. I've been waiting for a followup to this for a while.
Treasure Isle
Well Charged
Channel One
All have good dubs. 45s were where it was at
A must:
For that weird European girls collaborating with British Jamaican reggae producers - this is one of the best imo:
I avoided Dub Side of the Moon when it first appeared as it seemed liked something hipster journos who normally rep Razorlight were damning it with faint praise as a form of dub that was acceptable simply because it was covering part of the holy pantheon of prog rock. When I finally heard it at a party, I was actually very impressed.
My fav 12" single, across genres, from 2006 (although it may have come out late 2005):
Yes, Sub Oslo is awesome.
Grimy Styles is alright as well.
I'm diggin this one, who is it?
Thanks again to everyone for the reccomendations.
yabby u but King Tubby did the dub
calamalka - shredder's dub
habitat sound system - meets prince zohar and the mystics
It's one version of a Yabby You tune the name of which I cannot remember. If you like that, I recommend you this essential compilation
It is not strictly dub, but if all dub tracks from this compilation were put on a single lp, it would definitely be my favourite dub album ever. Then again, I think it's better as it is as you're able to hear both the original vocal tune and a dub version back to back. King Tubby is in top form here reconstructing those sublime Yabby You riddims.
Superior production, fresh ideas - I can't resist to praise this record again and again. IMO the best and most interesting dub record of the last years.
Skatalites - Herb Dub Collie Dub
Truly heavy sh*t on this compilation of King Tubby's dubs of Glen Brown productions. Along with Yabby You, Glen Brown is one of my favourite producers.
Glen Brown and King Tubby - Termination Dub
Yes.
