Live from WOH Radio Stage, Worldwide FM resident Kamar dives into one of the one of the most unique and under-explored sounds in UK musical culture: post-punk dub.
In the late 1970s, two seemingly opposed musical communities found fertile common ground to create one of the most unique and under-explored sounds in UK musical culture. On one hand - Jamaican migrants pushing dub in UK culture and on the other - post-punk musicians and producers. These communities shared little sonically but were united by the principle of sonic resistance.
Both used sound as confrontation, both rejected the mainstream, and both were being billed on the same stages and sound systems across inner-city Britain. What emerged was a genre built not by any single artist but by a village of visionary producers, engineers and musicians who made space for these worlds to collide behind the mixing desk.
Kamar traces that village geographically and sonically. From Dennis Bovell bringing dub's spatial weight to The Slits and The Pop Group, to Adrian Sherwood's On-U Sound collective fusing punks, Rastas and industrial musicians, to Bristol's bass culture that laid the musical foundations for what would eventually become trip-hop and dubstep.
