CIUT's David Dacks has been producing and writing a show for CBC Radio all about the history of dub, described as
from an accident in a Jamaican recording studio to the four corners of the Earth. Dub is the foundation of contemporary dance music. It is the heart of remix culture. It has become an international music, yet its descendents continue to be inspired by its Jamaican innovations. Dub isn’t just a musical remix, it’s a social remix.
This show will air on CBC Radio's "Inside The Music" in early summer. Meanwhile, David is throwing a party in celebration of dub music at Thymeless (355 College) this Saturday with Patrick Roots, DJ Chocolate and himself.
Jamaican Echoes - a Dub Documentary - will feature interviews with dub luminaries such as Bill Laswell, Clifton Joseph and Leroy Sibbles (amongst others) and is yet another example of why the changes at CBC Radio 2 are positive developements.
