Dub and reggae-dub are music styles that emerged in the 1960s and 1970s in Jamaica, known for their characteristic sound techniques and focus on rhythm and bass. Dub is an instrumental genre that often remixes existing reggae tracks, adding echo, reverb, and other effects to create an atmospheric and spacious sound. The basslines are deep and prominent, and the drum rhythms are often syncopated, giving the music a danceable quality. Dub-reggae retains many of the same elements but often includes vocals, though they can be sparse and frequently manipulated with effects.

Modern deep dubstep, also known as deep dubstep, is a subgenre of dubstep that emphasizes minimalist, dark, and atmospheric sounds. This style is known for its sub-basslines, slow tempo (around 140 BPM), and a gloomy, sometimes dystopian sound. Elements from dub and dub-reggae are often integrated into deep dubstep, creating a fusion of old and new.

Wiith this mix I try to blend dub and dub-reggae with modern deep dubstep, thus create a unique sound that combines the organic, earthy feel of dub with the futuristic, electronic texture of dubstep. The basslines remain deep and dominant but with a digital sharpness. Echo and reverb effects from dub create a spacious sound, while dubstep elements provide a darker, more intense atmosphere. The drum rhythms can vary from syncopated reggae beats to the heavier, more staccato rhythms of dubstep. The result is a musical experience that is both nostalgic and modern, with a rich, textured sound that appeals to fans of traditional dub as well as those who prefer the darker, more electronic sound of dubstep.


I am excited of how good this mix ended up, every tune fell in it's right place. With a proper deep and bass-heavy summervibe through and through!


Enjoy, junglist massive!

Dub : Dread

One I found on an old, very worn out looking (and sounding!) TDK 60 tape when packed up and made the move out of the UK. Did this way back when I was 17 years of age in my 4th ever year of DJ'ing (since starting out); the same year I earned a long term residency at D.O.P.E in Leeds. Good memories 👌

Tried to remaster it the best I can with (hiss reduction and balancing, limiter plug ins etc) but yeah - not easy! Problem was back then I spent every penny I had on records so when it came to recording any mixes the tapes got re-recorded upon re-recorded on week in week out - they soon degraded somewhat on each tape over (not just that I used to re-start studio mixes 6 or 7 times across a day or 2, any one who grew up with this music in that era will most probably relate).

More uploads from years gone by on the way shortly.

LQ - RiR June 1 2024 - Live Recording

Ez,

Played a live set for Darkfloor Sound on Mantis Radio (both under the Darkfloor Umbrella) a week or so ago. I really liked Mikes setup, everything was very professional I thought !

If you don't know Darkfloor Sound then you need to, it is an internationally known record label that has existed since 2012. In that time there has been many releases on both vinyl and cassette tape, I particularly like the two vinyl I have of `Mechanistic Overlap` (2015, favourite tune `The Anvil`) and David Meiser - Those Who Still Remain (2013, favourite tune `Soviet Rules`).

Mike Darkfloor is very passionate about what he has created, and I personally think he should be very proud of what he has done with this label, I would be !
