...you mean "asking for a world of pain"?

anyway, listen to all of the fine music-makers** mentioned in previous posts and you'll have a solid idea. my definition is anything that utilizes similar techniques as the original Dub producers from Jamaica.

by wikis definition, pretty much all electronic music today can be considered "Dub" since the studio-as-instrument philosophy is the rule rather than the exception. if you haven't already, you might want to pick up some King Tubby (and others listed in the link above).

**note: tired of referring to electronic musicians as "producers". it seems like a half step to me. am i alone in this?

good point. most of it is superficially labeled. "echo+delay+bass+420 friendly=dub techno"

I went for a long walk down through the park today (So hot out! ) with a varied selection of dub techno on my mp3 player and this post popped to mind.

I think there are different degrees of dub techno and although there are already enough sub generes in electronic music I feel there is yet one more to come. I think there are two distinct sounds that are lumped as dub techno.

There is a sound that is like dub music but with a techno structure and there is another one that is much more like techno made with dub elements.

I would call the former dub techno but since that is the name of the parent genre I think maybe it should be called "techno dub" to avoid confusion.

The latter I would call "dubby techno" cause its really techno with dub flavour.

I don't expect the world to adopt my nomenclature. Its just an observation.

Good summertime tunes
