I certainly do think that Jamaica for ska and reggae is also the progenitor of dub. Seemed so natural for producers to play around with the sound in the studios such as Channel One.

i thank jamaica for ska and reggae, there was certainly a huge african influence for afro jazz funk (dance) beat out of africa, but i think that may have followed the western influences. which do you think was the precursor? maybe it all just happened together in one huge galaxies shift from our cosmic consciousness on feeling the great vibe..)))))


wiki thinks jamaican ska began in the 50s when it hit london, one might say it was post-apo-calypso! rocksteady would have been the first big trance dance beat..

i do like this mention: [ as far as Jamaican record buyers were concerned, the origin of the word reggae was the 1968 Pyramid single by Toots and the Maytals "Do the Reggaay". Other possibilities as to the origin of the word include Regga, the name of a Bantu speaking tribe on Lake Tanganyika and a corruption of "streggae," which is Kingston street slang for prostitute. According to Bob Marley, the word is Spanish in origin, meaning "the king’s music" but according to veteran session musicians the word is a description of the beat itself. Hux Brown of the Skatalites and lead guitarist on Paul Simon’s 1972 hit "Mother and Child Reunion" says that it is "just a fun, joke kinda word that means ragged rhythm and the body feeling." ]

as well as this: [ Dub is a sub genre of music that grew out of reggae in the 1960s... The verb dub is defined as making a copy of one recording to another. The process of using previously recorded material, modifying the material, and subsequently recording it to a new master mix, in effect doubling or "dubbing" the material, was utilized by Jamaican producers when making dubs. The term dub had multiple meanings in Jamaica around the time of the music's origin. The most frequent meanings referred to either a form of erotic dance or sexual intercourse; such usage is frequently present in names of reggae songs, for instance, of The Silvertones' "Dub the Pum Pum" (where pum pum is Jamaican slang for female genitalia), Big Joe and Fay's "Dub a Dawta" (dawta is Jamaican slang for girlfriend). I-Roy's "Sister Maggie Breast" features several references on sex: ]

so basically just another version of "sex, drugs & rock n roll" !!?
