King Tubby, born on January 28th, 1941 in Kingston, Jamaica, is a legendary figure known for his influence on the development of dub music in the 1960s. With a diploma in electronics and a passion for repairing electronic equipment, Tubby opened his own store where he repaired materials like amplifiers and speakers. In 1958, he started Tubby's Home Town Hi Fi and quickly became one of the best sound systems on the island. Tubby's remixes and production work with artists such as Lee Perry and Bunny Lee made him a celebrity in Jamaica during the 1970s. He played a pivotal role in shaping modern dub music before retiring from music later in his career. Tragically, King Tubby was shot and killed in 1989.

There are very few people who define a genre the way King Tubby defines dub. From the early days of dub in the 1960s, King Tubby (born Osbourne Rodduck) influenced a generation of producers across a variety of genres and continued to do so until his death in the late 1980s. While King Tubby was known for experimenting with different sounds, he was also truly never one to settle for mediocrity. Flexing his signature dub muscle on 1975's Explosive Dub, a compilation of various Tubby gems 19 tracks long, the true beauty of his ability is brought to light. It's obvious to the listener that King Tubby spent hours perfecting each track and remix before releasing it to the public. Explosive Dub, a previously hard to find collector's item is a shining example of King Tubby's work.
