What season of the year do you associate dub techno with?

Post by Shepherd_of_Anu »

Just a question...

If you were to associate the dub techno genre with a particular season of the year, what season would that be and what country are you from? Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall? As a further extension of this inquiry.. would you regard this kind of music as a reflection of a deep solemnness, or an enjoyment that such solemnness might require, or perhaps you view it as a heralding from the well of life from which new life new does spring?

I have felt a multitude of ways regarding the music and so I am curious about the ways others have experienced it. I have heard some people complain that it all sounds the same (ie some particular dub stab or whatever) but to me that sounds like a moot argument. Its like an uninitiated person saying that techno, house, breaks, dnb and dubstep sounds like the same bunch of gobbledygook. There is a lot more depth than people are willing to give it credit for. What is your interpretation of this music?

Hmm, I seemed to have diverged from the opening Subject of the post but never the less if you could reduce your interpretation of dub techno to a season what would it be? If you have a deeper insight please share.

i would say it's autumn. it can sound warm or cold and those tape delay sounds decay and distort like the vegetation in that time of year.

to me it's not really a season, more of a mood or vibe (*)

Icy cold winter weather is my favourite time to listen to my dub vinyls at home.
