A unique celebration of dub, this iconic genre continues to redefine the boundaries of sound since its inception in the 1950s.
A Legacy Reimagined
Born in Jamaica, dub has transcended its origins to conquer the world. This pioneering genre was propelled by legends like King Tubby and Lee "Scratch" Perry, who transformed classic rhythms into psychedelic soundscapes, playing with reverbs, echoes, and reversed tapes. Today, the KING SIZE DUB series, launched in 1995, continues to honor this legacy, exploring all dimensions of dub, from its Jamaican roots to modern reinterpretations.
With KING SIZE DUB 24, Echo Beach offers a multi-dimensional experience. The album blends reimagined classics and fresh creations, highlighting legendary artists alongside contemporary talents.
Une série culte depuis 1995
La série KING SIZE DUB a vu le jour en 1995 en collaboration avec le magazine SPEX. Depuis, chaque édition explore le dub sous des angles variés : régions spécifiques (Dub in Germany), labels mythiques (ON-U Sound Records), ou artistes influents (Dubmatix, entre autres). Avec KING SIZE DUB 24, Echo Beach nous offre un nouveau chapitre riche et captivant, mettant en lumière le dub comme un art multidimensionnel.
This compilation stands out with its spectacular focus on reimagined versions of timeless classics. Iconic artists like Grace Jones, Fela Kuti, Jacob Miller, and Klaus Schulze are featured alongside bold new creations. Each track represents a true reinterpretation, blending sonic innovation with respectful homage.
