King Tubby - Explosive Dub (Vinyl LP)

Originally released in 1975, Explosive Dub by King Tubby is a cornerstone of dub reggae, showcasing the pioneering studio techniques that helped define the genre. As one of the most influential figures in dub, King Tubby transformed reggae into a spacious, experimental sound through heavy use of echo, reverb, and stripped-back arrangements.

Featuring deep, hypnotic tracks that emphasise bass and rhythm, the album highlights Tubby’s mastery of the mixing desk — turning vocals into distant echoes and instruments into shifting textures. The result is a fully immersive listening experience that laid the groundwork for generations of electronic and dub music to follow.

This vinyl LP edition delivers warm, rich analogue sound that perfectly complements the album’s deep basslines and atmospheric production. The format allows every delay, echo, and subtle detail to shine. Supplied brand new and sealed, it’s an essential addition for fans of reggae, dub, and classic studio innovation on vinyl.
