Dub is a virus. It infects the body and warps the mind.
From its reggae roots in Jamaica, across to the comparatively icy climes of Bristol in the 1990s, the history of Dub music is one of physical and aural processes. 'Dub is the science of studio pressure, when engineer becomes artist', writes Richard Skinner, while piecing together a chronicle of Dub which is part memoir, part essay, summoning the intensely affective power of Dub and its various communities, that span across decades and continents.
Summoning the music of the legend King Tubby, Rudolph ?Ruddy? Redwood, to the music of Lou Ciccotelli and his proto-African beats, and the Bristol scene of the 1990s; Skinner's history, written in startlingly rich prose, comes from the hand of a devotee of the genre who has been irreversibly contaminated by its pressure and bass.
