Way ahead of its time. Before the days of programmable drum machines and samplers, King Tubby was using tape delay effects produced from a Roland Sound Echo to produce EDM-like beats here. This song is an ancestor of hip hop, EDM, dancehall, ragga, jungle, drum & bass, and dubstep.
Remember that Dub started pretty much ALL modern music. Studio technology, DJ'ing, the role of the producer, the importance of bass etc. Its all in there
That's an overstatement as the Beatles for example were using the studio as an instrument 10 years before this (Tommorow Never Knows can stand next to this), but yes important especially for dance music.
@@lewissmart7915 Karlheinz Stockhausen was using the studio as an instrument 10 years before the Beatles did on Tomorrow Never Knows. Gesang der Jünglinge was 1956
How can anyone dislike this.? This is THE coolest stuff ever! (The production is awesome, like Floyd in the 70's) I am a metalhead and psychedelic rock enthusiast, but this is, and will always be up there... Cheers
First reggae track I ever heard - in London in 1983, brought to my house by my first love, God rest his soul. I had postal correspondence with Augustus Pablo, but I've lost the letters :(
The granddaddy of Jungle and DNB. The shuffling rhythm and the effects he puts on it anticipate DNB by about what? 16 years-ish? Incredible. You gotta love Dub!
even tho this kinda sounds like jungle this doesnt play any major part in jungle history. jungle came from speeding up and chopping drum breaks, not adding delay to breaks.
@@smiauu Fair point. I guess I was saying that the echo on the drums made it sound sort of breakbeat-y. Also, jungle/drum and bass has substantial roots in reggae, dub and sound-system culture (as does a lot of UK music). That’s where we get our heavy bass from.
@@smiauutho jungle indeed came from sped up chopped up breaks, dub music has a BIG influence on jungle and dnb music, it's really an understatement from you my brother that it doesn't play any major part in the history of this music.
This hit by Augustus Pablo was heard on the Miami Vice episode, Cool Runnin', which aired on October 5, 1984. MV is one of my all time favorite shows. It combined MTV with police action drama.
So perfectly layered, just unbelievable after all these years how many modern electronic music styles you can hear melted in this single tune. Quite a bunch of people followed this path, don't you think? It'd fit into jungle/dnb/breaks mixes as well as it'd work perfectly in minimal, dubtechno or dubstep environment. Considering the studio technology at that time such dub tracks are milestones.
Had this back in the day on vinyl as well as Huge Mundell ' Africa must be free by the year 1983'. Don't forget our home grown hero's..Reggae Regulars 'Where is Jah' and 'The Black Starliner'..Black Slate 'Amigo' Steel Pulse 'KLu Klux Klan' ..and many other amazing tracks from Hansworth Revolution/Tribute to the Maryters.
Serious Memories from the 80's, 90's, and 2000's. Papa Dave's "Reggae Explosion", theme track on Saturday nights.Coming out of the College Of DuPage. DuPage, Illinois., Western Suburb Of Chicago. Awesome Lead In Track 🖲🎵🎼🗿😮
I wouldn’t say it started the genre because dub music was already a thing in roots reggae in the 70’s. However, this particular mix of Jacob Millers ‘Baby I Love You So’ definitely helped catapult the genre to a higher level, without doubt, but this track and the album it was released on didn’t start the genre for sure.
I heard this dub so many years ago but never knew the name of it. I run into a collection of 5CDs of classic jamaican music and there it was. The recording quality is so amazing on big speakers.
and the mindset must have been somewhat similar to many electronic producers decades later with the way he chopped vocal stabs here and made the drums the center of everything
@@smiauu ya I don't mean to diss you, it's just like - it's amazing how time doesn't really matter when you're in the right place and you got the right things to do shit with - it's fucking awesome as hell
@@bon.8819good music has no expiration date. It simply is. Whereas certain songs and styles and what not are stuck in their respective era. Everything re runs. I dont think time is so linear like we're programed to think it is. Its a cycle. Nothing new under the sun. Ancient human civilizations were far surpassed the technology we have seen thus far. But we were told humans were digging in our asses and rolling wheels and made up fairy tales about why our world does what it does. The elite of our world take orders from A.I in which A.I is a consolidation of spirits presenting itself as a computer program. The proof is everywhere. My point being that although original Dub music is beautiful and one of its kind. It brings up other topics such as humans being enslaved by technology. Mixing Iron and Clay.
There are many versions with different names...the original vocal track is "Baby I Love You So" by Jacob Miller and the Rockers All Stars. However this version is the most wicked for sure!
'Well, gud evenin' to yer and on tonight's John Peel programme we'll have four tracks from the forthcoming Fall LP together with a new session from The Chords and an old one from Siouxsie and The Banshees. They'll be that B side from Sham 69 I promised you a couple of nights ago and singles from The Cramps, Adverts, Moondogs and Bothy Band. But first, Augustus Pablo.'
The ultimate dub.........Jacob Miller (vocals) + Augustus Pablo + King Tubby.......we may never see something like this again.
Baby I Love You So - Excursion... such a masterpiece!
@@MarcioSilva-fk1hqnot to forget the masterclass of Barret on drums
probably the most famous dub track ever committed to vinyl.
I used to stay in my car just to listen to this song in GTA San Andreas
oml same!
I grow up listening to this on my dad's stereo. Hearing it now takes me back to happy times.
haha gud shit...enjoying that irie vibe sensation
Jack The Skipper I used to get in and out until it came on again
GTA is what got me into Dub & Roots (after the dub made me want to hear the originals). I loved the Scientist stuff on GTA III

Speak it bro
Great analogy that
Played this tune until tape became transparent 😆 Big up ! 🇯🇲
Whazzz a ... dubstep?
Evertime I hear this track I say to my self this is the birth of jungle and drum & bass
The Mother Of All Dubs.
The Big Bang!
yep
GTA players that was only on
K-Jah West to hear this again
👇 hit the like symbol ...😉👍
Remember that Dub started pretty much ALL modern music. Studio technology, DJ'ing, the role of the producer, the importance of bass etc. Its all in there
word up + chatting/toasting over record. One could say it all started in Jamaica
Sources on that?

Hey man, I like your comment, I grew up with Wurzel from Motorhead, same town. We used to listen to this type of dub all the time. Lee Scratch Perry?
Yeah man! Lee is legend. No doubt about it. RIP Wurzel
One love man
Wow!! 😂👍🏾
I have total respect that a metal head is able to appreciate dub music!!
Talk about eclectic!! 👊🏾
@@vibez_kru01 we outchea 🤘🏽
Wembley, London in the 70’s, Soundville in Harlesden, Proper 🏴🎷🎼👊
One of the few tracks at the very peak of the genre .. magnifique
Who wasn`t cruising the streets of San Andreas banging this one???
man the bass on this is insane. It almost starts to feel like a d&b song at some points. amazing
What's the insane is the drums without a doubt
That’s coz it’s sampled in like a million songs thing is too goof to let die!
It is a drum and bass. King tubby and lee scratch perry invented dub, drum and bass, techno and more other electronic beats and music. Peace and love
Dub inspired many things like the jungle/dnb scene in London
Was known as drum and bass in its day.
my favorite reggae bass line ever! Wicked!!
First reggae track I ever heard - in London in 1983, brought to my house by my first love, God rest his soul. I had postal correspondence with Augustus Pablo, but I've lost the letters :(
Such a shame. Rip both gentlemen.❤
0:13 that snare gets me everytime!
One of my favourite things ever recorded!
Excellent bit!
played by Carlton Barett himself
Chaaaa
What a genius this guy was
Carlton Barret on drums.🔥
Yeah, GOAT❤
So his brother on bass?
I first heard this on WNJR AM in the late 1970s I think. Major Props to PD Jeff Dixon and its still relevant in 2024.. Yes Mon!
What the Fuck. I've never listened to This Masterpiece. THanks Vox

So nice, I had to add it to my playlist twice :) Peace and Love to all!
The All-Mighty Dub Album That Started A New Genre of Jamaican Music.'Nuff Said.

This hit is on Miami Vice TV show episode 3 season 1. IRIE MON!!!! :)
For my generation, it was the “Cool Runnings” episode of Miami Vice (1984).
And for my It was K Jah West radio in Gta San Andreas
Strictly rockers, full of culture yah. To Bass and beyond.
thanks vox almost forgot about this one!
this song is sooooo perfect
This shit is beautiful. CLASSIC as could be !!!
I heard this dub so many years ago but never knew the name of it. I run into a collection of 5CDs of classic jamaican music and there it was. The recording quality is so amazing on big speakers.

this is some real good stuff right there
My teen years. What a sound!!
Jacob Miller on vocal Augustus Pablo dub The 45" is still around, both vocal and dub
Ruff collaboration!
it's really hard for me to wrap my head around on how tf is this recorded in the seventies
it was possible back then somehow
@@bon.8819 i mean yes sure it was possible but the use of delay to create rhythm like this was straight up pioneering work
