Unrestrained on relentlessness production spree with mission to bring as many uncompromising musical artifacts to the world as possible, Haris Pilton issues a tribute to King Tubby:
“From the streets of Waterhouse to the four corners of the world, one name reigns supreme in the kingdom of bass and echo: King Tubby. In the 1970s, when sound system was the heartbeat of the people and the dancehall a temple of vibration, Tubby stood at the control tower like a scientist of sound. He wasn’t just mixing tunes – he was inventing a new language of music. Stripping songs to their raw bones, stretching snares through reverb, dropping bass like thunderclaps, and letting echoes run like lightning through the night sky – Tubby created dub.
Others played records. Tubby built worlds. With his hands on the board, he turned riddims into heavy meditations, transforming a simple version into a full-blown sonic universe of drum, bass, and spirit. He was the originator, the innovator, the master who showed Jamaica – and the world – that the studio itself could be an instrument.
Now comes Think Dubby, a new chapter in the long echo of Tubby’s legacy. Carrying forward this spirit comes Think Dubby, a heavyweight tribute album crafted and dubbed by Haris Pilton, and released on Montego Bay Records, the imprint of none other than Chantelle Morgan – the Queen of Dub herself. With Morgan co-producing alongside Pilton, the project unites two deep roots visionaries under one crown. The recordings were laid down in Positive Reality Studio and Montego Bay Records Studio .Crafted and dubbed by Haris Pilton, this album bows deeply to the foundation while standing tall in its own right. Here you’ll find strictly heavyweight dubwise, built in the old-fashioned style, with every version rolling deep like the roots of a giant tree. No gimmicks, no shortcuts – just the pure essence of dub as Tubby himself would have blessed it: bassline strong, drums militant, and the mix alive with mystery.
Think Dubby is more than an album – it is a tribute to the King. A reminder of why Tubby was, and forever will be, the creator and crown prince of sound manipulation, the very one who turned Jamaica’s music inside out and gave birth to a genre that still shakes the earth.
So drop the needle or press play, light the chalice, and let the vibrations speak. This one is for King Tubby! “

While dub music has branched out into various styles, Heavy Weight Dub maintains strong connections to its reggae roots, often remixing reggae tracks to highlight the rhythm and bass. Old school heavy-weight dub is a classic subgenre of dub music and it is characterized by its intense and bass-heavy sound, innovative use of studio effects, and roots in reggae. This style of dub was pioneered by legendary producers and engineers who experimented with mixing techniques to create new, immersive soundscapes.
A hallmark of old-school heavy-weight dub is the emphasis on deep, powerful bass lines that drive the track and provide a hypnotic rhythm. Heavy, often syncopated drum patterns, with a strong focus on the kick and snare drums, are crucial. The rhythm is steady and propulsive, creating a trance-like feel. Extensive use of delay (echo) and reverb effects to create a sense of space and depth. These effects are often applied to drums, vocals, and instruments, resulting in a “spacey” and immersive sound. Old school heavy-weight dub remains a cornerstone of dub music, celebrated for its innovative production techniques and deep, immersive soundscapes. Its legacy continues to influence contemporary music production and sound design.”
