The K&D Sessions

I've recently been turned on to a new form of music. It's titled dub, and for those of you who do not know what it is, well, I shall explain. Take essentially any form of music, tone down the leads, remove the vocals partially or in whole, add a lot of filters and effects to the remaining sounds, and generally just mellow things out. The dub sound originated in the '70s with reggae music. Reggae tracks were modified, usually with the vocals removed to make an easy listening 'b-side' type track. The dub infection spread from there and became infused with all types of music. At Shambhala "Garth, from San Fran" was spinning some phat-phat dubby house.. from that moment on... instant appreciation. I expect the dub sound to soon enter my musical creations.

Stay Tuned...
