Originally released in 1976-77 on his own Stars label, In Dub by Tappa Zukie stands as one of the defining artifacts of dub music’s golden age. This rare and atmospheric instrumental LP—recorded and mixed at King Tubby’s iconic Kingston studio—features bone-rattling basslines, haunting spatial effects, and a raw analog edge that continues to influence dub producers to this day.

Reissued in 2024 as a limited edition vinyl by Lantern Records, this version stays true to the original while expanding its legacy with two bonus tracks, enhancing its appeal to both longtime fans and a new generation of vinyl collectors and sound system selectors.

In Dub represents a crucial moment in dub history when artists like Zukie, King Tubby, and Scientist were reshaping reggae’s possibilities by deconstructing vocals, remixing rhythms, and emphasizing studio-as-instrument aesthetics.

Recommended For:
Collectors of roots reggae and dub vinyl, fans of King Tubby, Scientist, and Lee “Scratch” Perry, sound system DJs looking for warm analog pressure, and new listeners exploring the origins of bass-heavy electronic music.
