Step inside the echo chamber: Deep Dubs & Heavy Echos explores the global landscape of modern dub. From Kingston to London, Paris to Toronto, this mix brings together heavyweight basslines, hypnotic riddims, and spacious reverb-drenched textures that define today’s international dub sound.
Featuring deep cuts from Prince Fatty, Mad Professor, Paolo Baldini DubFiles, Dub Shepherds, Alpha Steppa, and Dubmatix, each tune builds on the foundation laid by the pioneers while carving new paths through delay, distortion, and bass.
Let the reverbs roll, the delays dance, and the low end move through you, a deep session designed for Sunday reflection, meditation, or pure vibing.

The Evolution Of 80s Dub
This mix captures the moment when dub music stepped out of the smoky analog haze of the 1970s and into the sharper, more expansive sound of the 1980s. The heart of roots reggae still beats through every rhythm, but the tools had changed — studios were now running 16- and 24-track machines, early digital delays, and lush rack reverbs that gave engineers new dimensions to explore.
From Scientist – Morning Glory to Aswad – Dub Fire, the mix moves through the transition from Kingston’s deep, hand-mixed roots to London’s emerging studio culture, where producers like Dennis Bovell – Dubbers Dub, Singers and Players – Kunta Kinte, and Dub Syndicate – Pounding System reshaped the sound for a new generation.
You’ll hear the dub evolution unfold - the heavy analog basslines of Black Uhuru – Puffed Out and Sly & Robbie – The Dub Of Gold meet the experimental layers of New Age Steppers – Aggro Dub Version and African Head Charge – Breeding Space, where ambient textures and early digital effects redefine what “space” in music could mean.
By the time UB40 – One In Ten – Dub Version and Linton Kwesi Johnson – Victorious – Dub appear, dub had become global — a bridge between Jamaica’s roots and the UK’s post-punk, electronic, and experimental scenes. It’s a sound both grounded and futuristic: deep bass, heavy atmosphere, and echoes that seem to reach beyond time itself.

Keith Hudson: The Dark Prince of Reggae
Keith Hudson, often referred to as the “Dark Prince of Reggae,” was a groundbreaking Jamaican producer, singer, and songwriter whose work significantly influenced the sound of dub and roots reggae in the 1970s. Born in Kingston in 1946, he grew up around future legends like Bob Marley and Delroy Wilson. After working as a dental technician, he invested his earnings in recording sessions. He launched his career by producing hits such as Ken Boothe’s “Old Fashioned Way” and quickly established himself as an independent producer with his own labels, including Imbidimts and Mafia. Unlike many of his contemporaries who focused on singles, Hudson approached reggae with a visionary album-first mindset, weaving together songs and versions to create concept-driven works that played like narratives from start to finish.
