| | King Tubby - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In the 1950s, King Tubby's musical career began with the sound systems, which were set up on the streets of Kingston to play dance music for the people. | | | Tubby would eventually form his own sound system, Tubby's Hometown Hi-Fi, which became a crowd favourite due to high sound quality, exclusive releases and Tubby's own echo and reverb sound effects, at that point something of a novelty. | | | Asked to produce instrumental versions of songs for sound system MCs or toasters, Tubby initially worked to remove the vocal tracks with the sliders on Reid's mixing desk, but soon discovered that the various intrumental tracks could be accentuated, reworked and emphasised through the settings on the mixer and primitive early effects units. |

| | King Tubby has a great name in dub, but this album is not his best. | | | Roots of Dub has 12 tracks on my slab of Clocktower vinyl. | | | This, of course, points out the limitations of even the great King Tubby: You can throw in all the audio effects you want and mix the hell out of a song, but if you don't like the original product, chances are you won't care for the dub. |

| | Case in point is "King Tubby's Meets Rockers Uptown," which was a dub of Jacob Miller's "Baby I Love You So." In the UK, Tubby's dub was listed as side A, and Miller's original was side B. Listen to both versions, and it's easy to see why. | | | But when Tubby was creating works like "Dub Organizer," "King Tubby's Meets Rockers Uptown," "The Power of Love," and the other 43 songs on In Fine Style, all he had was a 4-track mixing desk and a few accoutrements. | | | There was a reason why dub music (especially Tubby's) became so popular in the 70s: the music was good, often better than the originals. |

| | While Tubby was working as a recording engineer, he accidentally discovered the appeal of stripping a song of its vocal track. | | | Tubby mostly improvised at the mixing board, as if it were an instrument. | | | Tubby raised an entire generation of recording engineers, who went one to become innovators of Jamaican music, such as Prince Jammy (Lloyd James), soon to become a trendy producer, and Scientist (Overton Brown). |

| | Augustus Pablo, the famed melodica player and producer, was also a client, and King Tubby remixed music for Pablo's Rockers label, much of which appeared on the songs' B-sides. | | | Jackson and King Tubby's follow-up, "Conquering Lion," was another hit, and gave the artist/producer his nickname "Yabby You." Yabby You released his debut album, Conquering Lion, in 1975, and Tubby provided the dub companion, King Tubby's Prophecy of Dub, the following year. | | | These stripped-down tracks were integral to the rise of the DJs, and King Tubby not only cut exclusive dubplates for his favorites, he also hired the best to perform at his sound system. |

| | Throughout this period Tubby planned to build his own studio, and by 1988 he had begun to issue computer-generated digital music, featuring many of the new-wave ragga singers and DJs, including Pad Anthony, Courtney Melody, Anthony Red Rose, Pliers and Ninjaman, as well as established talents such as Cornell Campbell. | | | Tubby's name as mixer soon appeared on well over 100 albums. | | | The latter issued records that credited Tubby as mixer, including "Tubby's In Full Swing", the b-side to a DJ track by Winston Scotland. |

| | King Tubby has been dead for fifteen years, the victim of a still-unsolved murder in Jamaica, yet he remains among the most respected figures in reggae, credited with the innovations that gave modern-day trance, techno, and hip-hop a sonic heft and deep-bass grooves. | | | This fourth dimension was fortified by a mind-warping sense of echo and reverb. | | | One day, King Tubby accidentally left off most of the vocals from a tune he was mixing. |

| | King Tubby tribute |
| | King Tubby took this idea to the next level: he pioneered the music of post-production recording. | | | Essentially, records 'by' King Tubby consist of Tubby and one of his associate bands, such as the Aggrovators. | | | Tubby allowed for the instruments to be controlled via the mixing board by an engineer--who could imply the melody by turning the knob, make an instrument echo unexpectedly, or make the whole group sound like they were playing in a concert hall underwater with primitive reverb equipment. |

| | Rebel Riddims: King Tubby, the Dub Organizer |
| | Gospel-tinged reggae is the order of the day on the new album from Mikey General, a longtime stalwart of the Firehouse Crew. | | | What Tubby does here is shift the focus of the song from Holt's vocals to the tune's more subtle musical aspects. | | | There are many other King Tubby reissue collections out there, but the Moll-Selekta set represents his first two "solo" albums, so it stands to reason that the dubmaster was pretty involved in putting them together. |

| | In 1986, Tubby returned to the record business in a serious way, launching the Firehouse and Taurus labels, recording digital dancehall to huge acclaim and hitting with a new generation of acts, including Ninjaman, Anthony Red Rose, King Kong etc. His 1988-recorded album, “Presents Sound Clash Dub Plate Style” is a massive seller. | | | This is Tubby’s second mix of the rhythm, originally released on the flip of a Dillinger single on Karl Pitterson’s Black And White label. | | | The next time you hear a dance music remixer being praised to the skies, spare a thought for King Tubby. |

| | KING TUBBY CDs and DVDs recommended by Irielion |
| | Working with Reid, Tubby began what seemed to be a deceptively simple bit of experimentation: to remix songs, first dropping the vocal track, then boosting parts of the instrumental tracks, and subtly adding effects like echo and delay to isolated instruments. | | | King Tubby, the Dub Master (born Osbourne Ruddock), started his career in the mid-1950s repairing radios and DJ sound systems. | | | Irielion's Dr.Reggae especially loves his work with Augustus Pablo on the great album "King Tubby Meets Rockers Uptown" and "Dubbing With the Observer". |

| | New Haven Advocate: King Tubby |
| | Like a Jamaican John Cage, King Tubby's music shows just how dramatic silence is, but he also used the rhythmic momentum of the music to carry over through the gaps--the pulse is implicit and you keep feeling it, even when nothing's there. | | | Since most of the material was recorded on a four-track--typically with guitar, piano and organ on one track; bass, drums and percussion on a second; voice on the third and overdubs and horns on the fourth--Tubby had little to work with, but he made the most of it. | | | The King Tubby disc showcases a thoroughly deconstructed style. |

| | King Tubby: the Origin of Jamaican Dub |
| | Tubby began to experiment with special "versions", dropping the vocals in and out, filtering the rhythm, or feeding tracks through his own custom-built loop-echo and spring reverb units. | | | This album is only a tiny selection from the hundreds of tracks Tubby was involved in during his 70s heyday. | | | The B-side was usually the instrumental version of the song, minus vocals - a recycling strategy developed for economic rather than artistic reasons - and was often used as a music bed for DJs and MCs to chat over. |

| | And then Tubby and others started to be specialists in reprocessing rhythm tracks into distinct dub plates: they's move the vocals in and out seemingly arbitrarily, introduce strange shifts of phase and extreme echo effects, designed to make the instrumental record of interest in itself. | | | And then, the djs who worked the sound systems, people like Count Machuki and King Stitt, were stars in their own right, and like American radio djs of the same era, would talk a line of jive into the record. | | | The dub or version side would be the b of the single, and by the mid-seventies, whole lps of dub sides were being produced, and the people who produced them (Scientist, for example) became stars in their own right. |
