User Comment

As soon as I put the needle on the yellow vinyl, I knew it was going to be extraordinary.

The vibes of Lee โ€œScratchโ€ Perry filled my room instantly. I felt like he took me back in time. Where reggae got its start thanks to some good old-fashioned creativity on his part. And whatโ€™s more is the curated selection here really shows off what dub can do. As both a genre and technique.
