Having been a hardcore reggae fan in my D.C. days, there was no question I would be drawn to the Dub stylee when I discovered electronic dance music ... long before I had become a MixMeister, I had created numerous mix-tapes featuring the sound ... here is the original write-up for this page:

Dub is the ur-Reggae, and there are many fine compilations devoted to it (e.g., Burning Towers of Dub on Rhino.)  What keeps on surprising me is how much excellent present-day dub and dub-influenced stuff is out there on music sites like www.mp3.com.  The Bone Thing dub sets span the range of variations on dub that populate music now.

Well, of course, the website mp3.com is no more, but that doesn't mean that Dub fell off the face of the earth ... numerous practitioners such as Noiseshaper and Doctor Echo are keeping the flame alive, as are the many MadameFLY dub mixes, now part of the Dub & Dubber series ... a few of the original set-lists are shown below, including one that was cobbled-together with the MM software, using the best of the pre-MM tracks:
