Dub techno
open-in-new
<p>Dub techno is a subgenre of electronic music that originated in the early 1990s, blending the repetitive, minimal structures of <a href="/facts/Techno/BBqWRxmt">techno</a> with the echo-laden, spacey production techniques of <a href="/facts/Dub_music/Pb0wQdUK">dub music</a>. It is notable for its deep, atmospheric soundscapes, layers of elaborate <a href="/facts/Bass_(sound)/3NpVU9Rc">basslines</a>, slowly developing musical phrases featuring heavy <a href="/facts/Delay_(audio_effect)/t2UR7gHI">delay</a> and <a href="/facts/Reverb_effect/81SpJeJQ">reverb</a> effects. Vocals are either absent, or inspired by dub and <a href="/facts/Ambient_music/QNnE3krK">ambient music</a>. </p>
